Thanks for your suggestion. It has been discussed before.

In short this is very challenging to implement.

For starters, as transactions balance, the sum is always 0.

Next proposal: display the amount for one account. The question then 
becomes which account should that be ? Transactions don't necessarily 
have only two splits.
