File » Export » Export Transactions to CSV

The wizard that opens says there will be one row for each transaction,
so all you have to do is open the exported file and look at the number
of the last row used.

It also says "While a transaction may have splits in several of the
selected accounts it will only be exported once" so you don't have to
worry about double counting.
