Sum Column w/ Distinct Filters Help

Hello

 

I needed a bit of help suming a column by distinct filters.

 

Please see below image.

 

I would like to write a measure that totals number of students by territory and by program.  The number of students would change depending on Territory and by Program selected via my slicers.

 

So what I would like my Students column total to be is 7,780 (5,139 + 1,061 + 1,580).

 

Not having much luck using a calculated function.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

I just tried this out and I am currently testing as it seems to work.

 

Measure = MAXX(DISTINCT(Table1[Country]),MAX(Table1[Weight]))
SumWeight = SUMX(DISTINCT(Table1[Country]),[Measure])

Not totally sure how to do this.  As this is from Power BI Desktop
