Hi community,

 

I wanted to ask for help in the following task. I have a list of various thousands menus, which of them have allow lists. I want to separate - text to columns first on the allow lists and then add one line with the menu and its allow list.

 

Explaining with an example of input and desired output:

Have you tried the Split to Rows option of the Text to Columns tool?
