Problem with Quick Measure and Multiplication

Hello everybody,

I've recently started learning how PBI works, I've been left with the (great) work of the colleague who created all our reports.

I have a report that shows how many items are available in the warehouse.

It takes the some of the data from a source, like the number of the items and their Part Number, and from another source it takes the price of every PN.

At the end I need to have a new column which shows the total price of each PN.

Example, I have 456 Units of PN XXXXXX which costs 0,34€ each, so the new column should show as result 155,04.

The same for every other PN.

When I try to set a "Quick Measure", select the operation, the columns that i want to multiply, it gives me completely wrong values.

This is the resulting formula

What am I doing wrong ?

 

Thanks for any advice !

 

Best Regards !

Just to add some informations:

This are the tables from which I retrieve the data

PNDataPN-DATACOSTO/CADVALUTA
011698-6_010010/13/2020 12:00 AM0011698-6_0100-13/10/2020 00:00:0041EUR
011698-7_000010/13/2020 12:00 AM0011698-7_0000-13/10/2020 00:00:0027EUR

And this is the other table, with the PN (ITMREF_0) and the count of how many PNs we can find in the warehouse.

 

ITMREF_0Count
0011698-6_01006
011698-7_00006
012142-A_02001

 

This table had more values with the same ITMREF_0 (PN), so I used the "Group By" function to have each ITMREF_0 and the total count.

 

Hope this helps.
