Sum by person by category: New column

I need to create a column that calculates the sum of responses received by faculty member per college. An example of the data set is below with the Total Received per faculty/college being the column that I am trying to calculate with DAX:

 

Person               College        Survey         # Received        Total Received per faculty/college  

Faculty A            Medicine    XXXXXX          10                     25

Faculty A            Medicine    XXXXXX           15                    25

Faculty B             Dental       XXXXX              20                   30

Faculty B             Dental        XXXXX             10                   30

Faculty B             Nursing      XXXXX              5                    15

Faculty B             Nursing      XXXXX             10                   15

 

When I thought I only needed total received by faculty, the dax below worked great:

 

Total by faculty= CALCULATE (SUM('Table'[# Received]), ALLEXCEPT ('Table', 'Table'[person])) worked great

 

But then I realized that there are some faculty who teach at multiple colleges and I needed the new column to reflect total received per faculty per college. Any help is appreciated.

You can modify your code slightly to add college to the ALLEXCEPT

Total by faculty =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[# Received] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[person], 'Table'[College] )
)

Thank you! I wasn't expecting it to be that easy.
