Income Statement  (aka Profit and Loss aka Statement of Revenues 
depending on the nature of the entity for which the books are kept) You 
can see by that the developers would have a problem picking the name for 
the report. But anyway ....

This is the (standard) report that for the specified time interval (will 
ignore before and after that) will give the totals for all accounts of 
type income and expense. You might be able to select just some accounts, 
but why bother. Just ignore the ones of no interest to you. IF you have 
a very deeply nested CoA you might have to change the nesting level 
displayed. And you will have other choices to make about how the results 
are to be displayed (you will HAVE to specify the time interval). So I 
suggest, being new to the report, that you explore what report options 
are available (Edit => Report options; you do that AFTER opening the report)
