All new users need to familiarize themselves with all the options they 
have available to them for every report they intend to run. Learn what 
options you wish for each report. You should be asking here if/f you 
have already done that, explored the options available to you, and still 
can't  find what you want.

But do note --- gnucash might at first seem slightly odd in that it does 
not allow you to first choose the options for a report you are about to 
run. It requires you to first run the report (the report now exists) and 
then you get to use edit => report options to change the options you 
want for this report. A moment or two of thought should make it clear to 
you why this must be so. You could have more than one instance of a 
report in existence (a tab for it). For example, you might have two 
balance statement reports,report options) one for date X and one for 
date Y (the effective date of the balance statement is one of the things 
you set using report options)
