I have been able to create a report for the period from 1 January 2023 to the present time but cannot see how to specify a different period. For example I would like to have a report for the calendar year 2019. Any help will be much appreciated.

Rather basic --- you can run this report for ANY (valid) date interval.

edit => report options => general (remember, gnucash is peculiar in that 
first you run a report and THEN you use report options to change it)

In the general specifications you get to choose start and stop date 
(this report is always for a time interval). You don't have to be doing 
the report for "current accounting period" but can change that to any 
(valid) date range you desire.

* by valid I mean things like "start date must be before end date" and 
"the date range is meaningful in terms of dates in your books".
