I just happened to be wondering the same thing so here's what I did in
detail

1) Go to the Accounts page and select the top-level item you want to report
under. In this case:
Expenses

2) Edit--> Open SubAccounts [OR right-click --> Open SubAccounts]

3) A new register will open; GnuCash may warn you that it's read-only. In
this case the tab says "Expenses+" to indicate it includes SubAccounts.

4) I wanted to see JUST last month's expenses so I chose
View --> Filter By...
o Select Range
  2/1/2020
  2/29/2020

5) Now that you have the transactions filtered, open the Account report:
Reports --> Account Report

6) Play with the report settings till the report shows the detail you need.
(If you need to tinker further, you can copy the report contents and paste
into a spreadsheet.)
