The solution at https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/power-bi/977045-pq-repeat-rows-n-times.html seems to fit your need?

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtRzUdJRMlaK1YlWstBzBLJNlWJjAQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Category = _t, Contents = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Category", type text}, {"Contents", Int64.Type}}),
    Custom1 = Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Contents", each List.Numbers(_,_,0), type list}),
    Custom2 = Table.ExpandListColumn(Custom1,"Contents")
in
    Custom2
