Debit / Credit Visualization

Hi, I need help on my accounting measures. I hope you can help me with it. 

 

I have a General Ledger table that was formatted like this: 

 

Book           Date              Trans #                     Acct Name                    Amt

Sales           1/1/20          S001                          Sales                           -1,000

Sales           1/1/20          S001                          Cash                             1,000

Sales           1/2/20          S002                          Sales                           -2,000

 

I have a visual table that looks like this: 

 

Book           Date              Trans #                     Acct Name                    Amt

Sales           1/1/20          S001                          Sales                           -1,000

Sales           1/2/20          S002                          Sales                           -2,000

 

My visual filter is based on Acct Name, for example based on Sales.

 

What i want to happen is that when the user clicked on the Trans #, it will show the following details on a separate table :

Book           Date              Trans #                     Acct Name                    Amt

Sales           1/1/20          S001                          Sales                           -1,000

Sales           1/1/20          S001                          Cash                             1,000

 

I cant make it work, i think because my filter is based on Sales, it will not show any other Acct Name beside that. 

 

What measure should i create to make it work? 

 

Thanks a lot!
