Convert Bar and Comma Separated Values into a single row with one record per cell...

I have example data that is structured as the below with aggregated values on the end in one cell. I'm hoping to split this out into each record if it is split with a comma, space or pipe. The intended output of it would be to use vba to show it the column with the separated values and then have it output in a separate column with one each. I found an example of something very similar online but it did not work on my 50,000+ record set. Some of the rows contain aggregated records of up to 200 as well.


Starting Example:


ItemChoices
AAAA101010101010, 2020202044, 21203991911 | 23923277723
BBBB552532535232, 73746463434, 34934838434 | 4545787343
CCCC766626222 | 4972329832




End Result Needed:
AAAA101010101010
AAAA2020202044
AAAA21203991911
AAAA23923277723
BBBB552532535232
BBBB73746463434
BBBB34934838434

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
