Revealing paired products. Calculating how many times of each product was sold with selected product

Hello,

I am working in retail food chain, and I faced with the issue of revealing paired products, like: sausage and bread, cookies and milk, and etc. In other words, revealing products that are mostly sold with another product. 

Below, the data structure sample that I have in Power BI:

Purchase_ID

Product_Name

1

Milk

1

Cookie

1

Bread

2

Cookie

3

Bread

3

Cookie

4

Milk

4

Cookie

5

Cookie

5

Bread

5

Sausage

6

Milk

6

Cookie

 

The result that I would like to reach in the dashboard view is below table:

If selected Product_Name Milk, the result would be below table:

Product name

Number of times
sold with selected product

Milk

3

Cookie

3

Bread

1

Sausage

0


Milk was sold with Milk 3 times in Purchuase_IDs: 1, 4 and 6;
Cookie was sold with Milk 2 times in Purchuase_IDs: 1 and 4;
Bread was sold with Milk 1 time in Purchuase_IDs: 1;
Sausage was not sold with Milk in the same Purchuase_ID, that's why is 0.

I was able to do it in EXCEL, but in Power BI I have not reached the result. The excel steps were:
1. Filter Product_Name column by MILK, and reveal values of Purchuase_ID that include MILK;
2. Remove all filters, add filter to Purchuase_ID column with values that I get in 1 step. 
3. Using Count function to reveal number of times of each product that has been sold with MILK

I look forward for your support.
Any help is appreciated.
