Seeking for kind help in respect a problem which I have, I have next table, which contains two columns, one with comma separated values:
Name | | Country |
Maria | | Spain, Portugal, Italy |
Pedro | | Spain, Italy |
Jose | | France, Germany, Italy |
Carlos | | Germany, Spain |
Ana | | Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany |
I need to find a way how to convert this so that each comma separed value in column Country comes to a own row and Name will repeat for each matching case, so like below:
Name | | Country |
Maria | | Spain |
Maria | | Portugal |
Maria | | Italy |
Jose | | France |
Jose | | Germany |
Jose | | Italy |
Carlos | | Germany |
Carlos | | Spain |
Ana | | Spain |
Ana | | Portugal |
Ana | | Italy |
Ana | | France |
Ana | | Germany |
Thank you for your help!

You can add a new column using the Text.Split function as in the example:
=Text.Split([Country], ",")
A new column of type List will be created. Then just expand it.

Custom1 = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,each [Country],each Text.Split([Country],", "),Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Country"}),
#"Expanded Country" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Custom1, "Country")
in
#"Expanded Country"
