Hi, 

I would like to add new row, Using M Query, for each word after a comma, where all data is the same except for the word after the comma:

Alterntatively:

 

create a blank query. Copy and paste the code below into the advanced editor:

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUXLOzy3ISS1JBTKN9Q2M9I0MjIyBbCN9A2MY29nfN8AvBMjw9AsOcfTxAbJ8XZ09dOCEUqxOtJITHsMskDg4TFOKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [part = _t, status = _t, date = _t, date2 = _t, column1 = _t, column2 = _t, column3 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"part", type text}, {"status", type text}, {"date", type date}, {"date2", type text}, {"column1", type text}, {"column2", type text}, {"column3", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type", {{"column3", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "column3")
in
    #"Split Column by Delimiter"
