You didn't sat WHAT report you want. So I'll give an example.

Say the Income Statement (aka Profit and Loss .. or as an organization 
would say Statement of Revenues and Expenses). You run the report (with 
whatever default settings) and then use Edit=>Report Options. You can 
then select the totaling behavior that you want (whether subtotaling, 
appearing where, etc. are available options)

Might I suggest that folks new to gnucash try running all the reports 
they will want to use, and explore Edit=>Report Options to see what 
options are available, what they do. Then use the options you like.
