Edit => Report Options

One of the things you get to choose is how you see "subtotals" ----- 
none, before, after, or both. Sounds like you are doing both. Just turn 
off the one you don't want and keep the one you do want. My personal 
preference is "after" so that's what I specify.

I will suggest again, anybody new to gnucash should spend a little time 
investigating the options available to each report used. You don;t have 
to accept the defaults.
