How to import and export expenses

Bring expenses in from another app or your own spreadsheet, and take a group's expenses out to Excel. Pro imports and exports without limit; on Free and Ad-free, each group has 2 free imports and 1 free export, shared by its members.

Step by step

  1. To import, open the group, open its menu and choose Import expenses. Pick a CSV or Excel file: an export from this app, from Splitwise, Tricount, Splitser or another app, or your own spreadsheet.
  2. Check which column is the date, the description, the amount and the payer, and match each name in the file to a member of the group. A file exported from MySharedXP skips this step.
  3. Every row is checked before anything is saved. Fix the rows that need attention in your file, or leave them out, then tap Import.
  4. To export, open the group's menu and choose Export expenses. You get an Excel file with the group's open expenses, ready to share or keep.

Good to know

  • The import template in the group's menu is free: an empty Excel file with the group's members and categories as dropdowns.
  • A file holds at most 200 expenses, and at most 1.5 MB as CSV or 512 KB as Excel. Split a bigger file into smaller ones.
  • When a group's free imports or its free export are used, a short rewarded ad in the iOS or Android app allows one more, or Pro removes the limit.
  • Every file is checked for viruses before it is read. A refused file comes with a warning; after repeated refused files, importing is paused on the account until support has looked at it.
  • Exporting all your account data (Settings) is separate: once a week, on every plan.
