Thanks Douglas
In my Equity account group, I defined a range to include all revenues and expenses. The range properties are:
Name - YTD Surplus (Deficit)
Range - 70000:90000 - all our revenue and expense accounts
Select Type - I set it to Retained Earnings
did not select "enable detail"
did not tick off the "include total line"
I did tick off Liability, but have tried not ticking it off.

Still nothing appears when I drop it into the statement.
