I know this option exist but searching a solution with formula

Answer 1

With microsoft 365:

=FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"""",""),",","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s")

Or, into columns:

=TRANSPOSE(FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"""",""),",","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s"))

With Older versions (dragged down):

=FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A$1,"""",""),",","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s["&ROW(A1)&"]")

Or, into columns (dragged right):

=FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"""",""),",","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s["&COLUMN(A1)&"]")
