column with multiple delimited IDs

i have a data set that i received that contains some customer grouping information where a single customer has multiple IDs rolling up to it, but they're in a single row:

 

CUSTOMER | GROUP CODES| DATA....

12342  | AAA/BBB/CCC

12341 | DDD

13563| EEE/FFF

 

Is there any way to somehow 'tidy' up the group codes column and create multiple rows? 

 

for example:

 

AAA | 12342  

BBB | 12342  

CCC| 12342  

DDD|12341 

 

in reality i'm trying to create a distinct mapping for group code to the overarching customer, but the number of group codes per customer can be variable. 

 

thanks in advance!

You can use Text To Columns, and split your Group Codes field by the slash, and choose the Split to rows option

@mompermj ,

You can use Text to columns for  splitting  columns and creating rows for group codes.
