I tried with Excel, Word, Firefox, Notes and it doesn't show anything. I also tried to rename it adding the html extension, but it doesn't work. I cannot see the report exported.

It would probably help a lot if, when you save it, you append .html to 
the name.  It's an HTML file, and Firefox should read it with no 
problem.  So should OpenOffice.org/Web.  Unless you merely want to print 
it, I suggest you open a new spreadsheet and import the file.  In OO.O, 
use Insert>Link to External Data.  Excel should have something similar. 
You can also copy the report as it is displayed by GnuCash and Paste 
Special it into a spreadsheet.  This is useful only for display, however.
