Import with linked data

[Andrew_Malcolms]

I’m importing data from a CSV with a nested appearance like this:

Food Group	Food
Fruit	bananas
	apples
	oranges
Veg	kale
	squash
	Cauliflower

I need to flatten the nesting to look like this:

Food Group	Food
Fruit	bananas
Fruit	apples
Fruit	oranges
Veg	kale
Veg	squash
Veg	Cauliflower

Presently I’m using a complicated formula in Google Sheets before importing. Can this be done in Airtable instead?

Thanks very much

This use case is quite common. Many exports of databases are flattened and importing a csv file generated from a flattened database would be very useful.

I would love to read a solution to Andrew’s question…
