For the Balance, it requires the (sum of all credits)-(sum of all debits), but only upto that date, or entry. My problem is, that when I specify it that way, I get only one row in the view, showing the total of all debits and all credits for the entire table. Could someone help me with this one ? Thanks.

I assume you need that for a report. I think the running total should be handled in the report (through report variables), not in the SELECT statement.
