See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUQpJLS4BUo4gbKgUqxOtZAQVLYHKWDuB5awdjcDSxlBpQyNjiKy1M5B2hkiaQCVNQHIuIAwRN4WKm5pZwiWsIyD2maEY6GwNknU2VoqNBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Client = _t, Category = _t, Product = _t]),
Custom1 = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,each [Category],each Text.Split([Category],";"),Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Category"}),
Custom2 = Table.ReplaceValue(Custom1,each [Product],each Text.Split([Product],";"),Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Product"}),
#"Expanded Category" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Custom2, "Category"),
#"Expanded Product" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Expanded Category", "Product")

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,
I hope my sample code will help:
ClearCollect(
collsampledata,
{
ID: 1,
Client: "Test",
Category: "A"
},
{
ID: 2,
Client: "Test2",
Category: "A;B"
}
);
ForAll(
collsampledata As currentrow,
ForAll( Split(
currentrow.Category,
";"
) As newdata,Collect(colldata,{ID:currentrow.ID, Client:currentrow.Client,Category:newdata.Result}))
)
