See above where it says Options / Display ?  That is how.

I'd produce two sub-reports if the distinction is that big a deal, see 
Options / Accounts to select which Income and Expense accounts you want 
in each report.

Whatever you like.

Take any report, highlight it top left to bottom right and copy and 
paste it into a word processor or spreadsheet OR export as html and open 
that in your editor of choice. This isn't the place for how to use a 
spreadsheet or word processor.
