Answer 1

A formula solution is close to your requirement.

Cell H1 is the delimiter. In this case a space.

Helper E1:=SUM(E1,LEN(B1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B1,$H$1,"")))+1

You must fill the above formula one row more.

A8:=a1

Fill this formula to the right.

A9:=LOOKUP(ROW(1:1),$E:$E,A:A)

Fill this formula to the right and then down.

B9:=MID($H$1&LOOKUP(ROW(A1),E:E,B:B)&$H$1,FIND("艹",SUBSTITUTE($H$1&LOOKUP(ROW(A1),E:E,B:B)&$H$1,$H$1,"艹",ROW(A2)-LOOKUP(ROW(A1),E:E)))+1,FIND("艹",SUBSTITUTE($H$1&LOOKUP(ROW(A1),E:E,B:B)&$H$1,$H$1,"艹",ROW(A2)-LOOKUP(ROW(A1),E:E)+1))-FIND("艹",SUBSTITUTE($H$1&LOOKUP(ROW(A1),E:E,B:B)&$H$1,$H$1,"艹",ROW(A2)-LOOKUP(ROW(A1),E:E)))-1)

Fill down.

Bug:

Date/time will be converted to value and blank will be filled with 0. You can add &"" to the end of the formula of A9 and B9 to block the value 0, but numbers/date/time will be converted to text.
