    check out this solution. It adds a new column to your data, creating a table out of your year and count column. After that the list-columns are deleted and the new table expanded

    let
        Source = #table({"Ref", "Year", "Count"}, {{"181", {"2019", "2020"}, {"50000", "34000"}},{"182", {"2019", "2020"}, {"50000000", "34000000"}}}),
        AddTable = Table.AddColumn
        (
            Source,
            "TableYearCount",
            each Table.FromColumns({_[Year], _[Count]}, {"Year","Count"}),
            type table
        ),
        RemoveYearCount = Table.RemoveColumns(AddTable,{"Year", "Count"}),
        ExpandYearCount = Table.ExpandTableColumn(RemoveYearCount, "TableYearCount", {"Year", "Count"}, {"Year", "Count"})
    in
        ExpandYearCount

     

    Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
