Totals combining sums from two different fact tables: 'Estimates' and 'Sales'?

Hello;

I Have two diferent fact tables with diferent granulity:

 

Fact Table 01: Ar Compressed Gas

date           Compressor      m³

01/01/17         A                1.00

01/01/17         B                2.50

01/01/17         C                1.50

01/01/17         D                1:00

01/01/17         E                1:05

02/01/17         A                1.00

02/01/17         B                2.50

 

Fact Table 02: Production

date           machine           Parts

01/01/17         x                1,500

01/01/17         y                2,500

01/01/17         z                2,000

01/01/17         g                4,000

01/01/17         k                2,000

02/01/17         x                1,500

 

My goal is to do I timeline chart with parts/gas used (m³), across the months of the year. 

How can I do this?

I don't understand how these things are related, are they? Seems like it would be something like:

 

Measure = SUM('Fact Table 02'[Parts])/SUM('Fact Table 01'[m3])

And put that in a Table visualization. You'll probably need a central Date table to relate both of these tables to and you would use MONTH([Date]) from that table.
