I have a list where i have a specific number of rows needed for each object ID. However i cant for the life of me think of a quick way to do it. I know there is a way to do it by transforming but keep running into issues

Table below. Small example below but this goes to 7000 object IDs. The idea would be that I run some code and in column A it would have the Object ID 1 twice, then below it the Object ID2 three times then the object id 3 6 times and so on, does this make sense?

If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Try:
VBA Code:
Sub dup_row()
Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long
Dim va, vb

va = Range("A2:B" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
ReDim vb(1 To 500000, 1 To 2) ''I assumed the result won't exceed 500K rows

For i = 1 To UBound(va, 1)
    For j = 1 To va(i, 2)
        k = k + 1
        vb(k, 1) = va(i, 1)
        vb(k, 2) = va(i, 2)
    Next
Next

Range("A2").Resize(k, 2) = vb

End Sub

Result:
