While a Transaction Report might get you the data, I tend to like the Budget Report for its layout.

If you only want to see actual expenses, simply uncheck the “Show Budget” in the Display tab.

You can get each month/period in its own column, optionally have a total column, and everything is listed by account just like a P&L.

I think you have to setup a budget first to define the reporting period to get it to work. I haven’t tried it without one created.
