I am not quite sure what you want/need especially after seeing that last 
bit about "changing the period each time".

Income Statement (P&L) is always for some specified period. So for each 
month you set it, run the report, and export. You do not have to 
respecify for THAT month again; you look at what you exported.

If you were thinking you'd want to be keeping the monthly report IN 
gnucash, imagine what that would look like after the books have been 
open ten years!
