Hi

=LET(X,A1:A10,Y,B1:B10,k,TOCOL(BYROW(Y,LAMBDA(s,ROWS(TEXTSPLIT(s,,", ")))),3),CHOOSE({1\2},TOCOL(IF(SEQUENCE(,MAX(k))<=k,X,W),3),FILTERXML("<t><s>"&TEXTJOIN("</s><s>",,SUBSTITUTE(Y,", ","</s><s>"))&"</s></t>","//s")))

Solution
Hi
VBA
Try
VBA Code:
Sub test()
    Dim a, x
    Dim i&, ii&
    a = Cells(1).CurrentRegion
    For i = 1 To UBound(a)
        x = Split(a(i, 2), ",")
        Cells(2 + ii, 4).Resize(UBound(x) + 1) = Cells(i, 1)
        Cells(2 + ii, 5).Resize(UBound(x) + 1) = Application.Transpose(x)
        ii = ii + UBound(x) + 1
    Next
End Sub

this worked replacing the backslash with a comma. thanks mate..
