Use measure to calculate matrix column total

I want to create a measure that will calculate the column total of a matrix

 

MonthYearJan-22Jan-22Feb-22Feb-22Mar-22Mar-22

For example, table above shows different clothing items and the number of those items sold each month (the Item Count). I want to create a measure that will show the total number of all clothing items sold each month (Total Item Count) - I know that I can turn on the total row but that isn't what I'm after. 
Thanks in advance

Try:

Total item count = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table[Item]), ALL(Table[Item]))
