There's a thriving ecosystem of Notion expense-splitter templates - formulas-driven databases that compute who owes whom. They look beautiful, they integrate with the rest of your Notion workspace, and they're popular with knowledge workers. They are also slow at the table, fragile when formulas break, and not designed for the actual job. Worth understanding the trade-offs.

Notion → ⋯ → Export → CSV. Pick the database that holds your expenses.
Use the closest matching template. Default currency, members, shares mode if applicable.
Just the unsettled ones. The CSV gives you the full history; you don't need to migrate it.
Notion is excellent for itineraries, packing lists, restaurant shortlists. Use it for those; let EvenRound handle expenses.
The short version.
Notion templates look like the right answer but they're optimised for being-pretty, not for being-fast-at-the-table. Use Notion for trip planning; use EvenRound for the bills.
