The Consolidated Profit and Loss report displays different aspects of the base elements you select in several tables. Each table shows the profit and loss accounts in rows and the time dimensions in columns (specifically the Month_YTD dimension and its prior period, e.g. 2018-12_YTD and 2017-12_YTD, see screenshots below). The columns displayed in the report depend on the the selection made in the PoV area:

The table breaks down into five parts. Above we see the Profit (Loss) section, which shows the profit and loss accounts. There are also sections for Profit (loss) attributable to, Total income, and Total income attributable to, all of which show their own account, i.e the base elements of which they are a parent element, see the PnL Account dimension article for more information. Finally, the KPIs section shows different types of calculated statistical indicators.
