Need to Duplicate Rows of Data that Contain Multiple Serial Numbers

I receive a daily report that contains hundreds of rows.  The problem is that the Serial Number field may contain multiple serial numbers.
If there are 2 serial numbers, I need to convert the single row into 2 rows that are identical and each new row has a single serial number.

Likewise for more than 2 serial numbers.

The serial numbers are always in the format AAAAA/BBBBB or CCCCC/DDDDD/EEEEE.

I have no idea of how to do this.

@PaulBethancourt ,

In Power Query, you can use the "Split By Delimiter" function.

Use "/" as your Delimiter.

Under Advanced Options, select "Split into Rows".
