    Try using the Merge Query option to do a lookup and pull only the relevant columns.

     

    You can then use a calculated column to calculate cost of each profil. Can you share the screenshot of the other table?

      Hi Anonymous 

      Thanks for your response

      Here is the table of the costs

      Could you please tell me how works the "merge query"? I just started to use power Bi lately (may be a month ago) so i'm not that good with it.
