Split Column by delimiter, add row but empty values

[thomastatum]

Is there a way to split a column by a delimeter and add a new row.  But when the rows are added, have the values of certain columns be empty?

We have the following table:

Team         Sales    Countries

Red           104          US

Blue          234         Italy, Spain

Green       100          Brazil

Purple       435          Germany, Poland

I would like the result to be:

Team  Sales    Countries

Red     104           US

Blue     234           Italy

Blue                     Spain

Green  100           Brazil

Purple  435           Germany

Purple                   Poland

Is this possible?

With normal split -> add row, the sales numbers are copied to the added rows and its throwing off our totals.  Any idea to change this effect?

Thank you,

-Thomas

@thomastatum,

You can copy and paste this code into your Advanced Editor for reference

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCkpNUdJRMjQwAZKhwUqxOtFKTjmlqUCekTFIzLMkMadSRyG4IDEzDyzrXpSamgfWYgAknYoSqzJzwBIBpUUFOSCNJsamQNI9tSg3MQ+oNSA/JzEvRSk2FgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Team = _t, Sales = _t, Countries = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Team", type text}, {"Sales", Int64.Type}, {"Countries", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "Countries", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(", ", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Countries.1", "Countries.2"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Countries.1", type text}, {"Countries.2", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type1", {"Team", "Sales"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "New Sale", each if [Attribute] = "Countries.1" then [Sales] else null),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Conditional Column",{"Sales", "Attribute"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"
