Assuming "per individual trip" is about many trips and not many people, akin to "separate by a given trip," I would add the trip date and descriptor in the description of every expense.

For example, I might add "2026_02 Vancouver BC -- " to each description, and thus for ABC Lodging,

"2026_02 Vancouver BC -- ABC Lodging"

Then if I want the February 2026 Vancouver trip transactions, I simply use Find to find "2026_02 Vancouver BC," which will be unique.

There are other analysis options, such as exporting the data and filtering using a spreadsheet, and other data wrangling tools.
