Need help on correcting pivot table total-dax/power pivot

I am new to Dax and power pivot and need help with a measure. From the Table below, I have managed to create a measure for finding the max of sum of sales by product and Name. =maxx(SUMMARIZE(Table1,Table1[Name],Table1[Product],"Sum",[Sum of Sales]),[Sum]).

But I could not correct the total of max sales. The correct sum on the pivot should be 22,000, not 12,000. Can you please suggest the correct Dax measure to achieve this? I could not correct this through Hasonfilter.

Hi @Sudbrl 
Please try

Maximum Sales by Product =
SUMX (
    VALUES ( Table1[Name] ),
    CALCULATE (
        MAXX (
            VALUES ( Table1[Product] ),
            [Sum of Sales]
        )
    )
)

Dear Greg

Thank you for your kind consideration, I Have checked your posts multiple times but could not figure it out as I am new to DAX. Can you please suggest a measure specific to my sample? @Greg_Deckler
