Formula to create a row for every value of a comma-delimited list - GSheets

Time:04-29

I am trying to write a formula that will take a set of columns and pair them into separate rows with a comma-delimited list. In SQL, I would do this with a left join, but I am not sure how to leverage GSheets functions for this.

Here is what I mean:

Source Data

Col1 Col2 CommaDelim
Col1Val1 Col2Val1 1,2,3
Col1Val2 Col2Val2 1
Col1Val3 Col2Val3 1,2
Col1Val4 Col2Val4 1,2,3,4

Desired Output

Col1 Col2 CommaDelim
Col1Val1 Col2Val1 1
Col1Val1 Col2Val1 2
Col1Val1 Col2Val1 3
Col1Val2 Col2Val2 1
Col1Val3 Col2Val3 1
Col1Val3 Col2Val3 2
Col1Val4 Col2Val4 1
Col1Val4 Col2Val4 2
Col1Val4 Col2Val4 3
Col1Val4 Col2Val4 4

try:

=INDEX(QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(A1:A&"×"&B1:B&"×"&SPLIT(C1:C, ",")), "×"), 
 "where Col3 is not null"))
