    Parsing Multi Line Cells

    I have a large spreadsheet with multi-line cells in this format:

    Item 1
    - subitem 1
    - subitem 2
    - subitem x
    Item 2
    - subitem 1
    - subitem 2
    - subitem 3
    - subitem x

    The format I need is
    Colum A Column B
    subitem 1
    Row x Item1 subitem 2
    subitem x


    The next Item and subitems in the next row.

    I assume Power Query is the way to manage this transformation but I have not yet figured this out. Can someone assist?

    Will be a lot easier to manipulate your data if you upload a worksheet. See the yellow banner at the top of this page.
