Allocation of header table into detail table

I want to allocate the discount amount happened at the invoice level into line item evenly. Basically the discount will spread evenly into each item, for example InvoiceID 1 has 2 items, hence 20/2 = 10 discount per item

 

Header table

InvoiceIDDiscount
120
240
350

 

Detail table

InvoiceIDLine itemAllocated discount
1A10
1B10
2A13.33
2B13.33
2C13.33
3A25
3B25

I know how to do it in DAX, but I prefer to do the modeling in Power Query. How do I achieve this?

Please check the attached file. I merged the discount table and added a custom column to divided by the invoice ID count.

Thanks Fowmy! I'm new to M, could you explain the meaning of (x)=> and the "x" in front of [Discount] and [InvoiceID]?

 

(x)=> 
    x[Discount]/
    List.Count(
        List.Select( #"Merged Queries"[InvoiceID] , each _  = x[InvoiceID])
    )
