Help: Calculated column only considering half of filter condition

Hello, I'm having trouble with a DAX expression. I have two tables, Vendors and Receipts . They're laid out like so, with a many-to-many relationship linked through the Vendor column:

Vendors:

MonthVendor
2022-01AlphaAssociates
2022-02AlphaAssociates
2022-01BuenoBiz
2022-02

BuenoBiz

2022-01CenturyComm
2022-02CenturyComm

 

Receipts: 

MonthVendorCost
2022-01AlphaAssociates$10
2022-01AlphaAssociates$5
2022-01BuenoBiz$5
2022-01CenturyComm$7
2022-02AlphaAssociates$15
2022-02BuenoBiz$9
2022-02CenturyComm$3

 

I'm trying to add a calculated column to the Vendors table that sums the data in Receipts according to the Month and Vendor of the row. Right now I'm using the expression 

Total Cost = CALCULATE( Sum('Receipts'[Cost]), FILTER('Receipts',Receipts[Vendor] = [Vendor] && Receipts[Month] = [Month]))
 
I expect my Vendors table to look like:
MonthVendorCost
2022-01AlphaAssociates$15
2022-02AlphaAssociates$15
2022-01BuenoBiz$5
2022-02

BuenoBiz

$9

2022-01CenturyComm$7
2022-02CenturyComm$3
 
But instead I get all matching vendors summed, regardless of month:
MonthVendorCost
2022-01AlphaAssociates$30
2022-02AlphaAssociates$30
2022-01BuenoBiz$14
2022-02

BuenoBiz

$14

2022-01CenturyComm$10
2022-02CenturyComm$10
 
What am I missing here? Or is this not feasible without a helper column of "Month&Vendor"?

@ekepp , I tried a new column and getting the correct result

Column = sumx(FILTER(Receipts, Receipts[Month] = Vendors[Month] && Receipts[Vendor] = Vendors[Vendor]),Receipts[Cost])

I guess I should have been using SUMX instead of CALCULATE and SUM, thank you!
