Multiple two columns tables with many to many relationships

Hi

 

I am having two tables (Sales Table & Commission Table) and the two was connected with many to many relationships as both the table doesn't have unique values.

I connected both the tables with Name as a Many to Many relationships dut to non-unique values. I wanted to multiply target and commission and need below expected output

I used below formula to calculate commission
Commission = SUM('Sales'[Total]) * SUM('Commission'[Commission (%)])

The above formula is working, but I am not able to get the commission in the output table. Please advise

Did you miss some conditions or data., the expected output is logically not possible for Ron and Mitty, because there is no respective commission for the 2 names.

@Jason2500 better approach would be to create a common table for the name as a dimension in Power Query and set a relationship with this new dimension table with these two tables and then everything will work. It is better to create a dimension as a scalable and best practice solution.
