The answer is yes. You can have the subtotals before or after as you 
prefer.

But might I suggest that with EVERY report you run for the first time 
(until you become familiar with it) you begin by running "test" 
(learning mode). You go to edit=>report options and see what ALL your 
options are. The only odd thing about gnucash is that you don't select 
these first (before running the report). In other words, you only get to 
set the options the way you want them after the report exists.

But might I ask you a question? If you didn't go into report options how 
did you set the begin date and end date for the P&L (always for an 
interval between two dates)
