[GNC] Hi Gnucash Income Statement - no totals

[Stephen M. Butler]

It is a setting in the OPTIONS menu item.

Click on OPTIONS in the menu bar.  Then click on the DISPLAY tab.
Look  for the "Parent account balances" drop down list.  Sounds like you 
may have "Do not show"

If you change this to "Calculate Subtotal" then you may want to change 
the next line "Parent account subtotals" to "Do not show".

As a reminder, go through all the options on all the tabs to be sure you 
have each option set up the way you want them.  Experiment if you are 
not sure.
