Change multiple values in a cell, to multiple duplicate rows

Good Afternoon

I have previously asked the following question, and the code is the accepted answer. It works correctly but is there a faster away, or more efficent solution, either in code or tweaking my Excel settings. The code is running in Excel 2007.

The question:

I am looking to achive the following:

Within column W of a report, which is pull from a sharepoint site, it is possible to have mulitple entry's in the single cell, for example:

Apple;#1;#Orange;#2,#Nut;#14

What I would like is a piece of code which identifies the multiple entry, and creates a single row for each entry within the cell, so from the above example I would have three rows, with only one entry within the column W. The details held within the rest of the row apply to each entry, so a straight copy of the row would work.

The multiple entrys could be upto a maximum of 21 items.

Many thanks

The code:

Sub splitme()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Dim r As Range
Dim V As Variant
Dim a() As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim row As Long
Dim endRow As Long
Set r = Intersect(ws.UsedRange, ws.Range("W:W"))
row = r.row
endRow = r.row - 1 + r.Rows.Count
While row <= endRow
Set r = ws.Range("W" & row)
a = Split(r.Value, ";")
If UBound(a) > 2 Then
r.Value = a(0) & ";" & a(1)
For i = 2 To UBound(a) Step 2
V = r.EntireRow
r.EntireRow.Insert
r.EntireRow.Offset(-1) = V
'Set r = r.Offset(1)
If UBound(a) >= i + 1 Then
    r.Value = a(i) & ";" & a(i + 1)
Else
    r.Value = a(i)
End If
Next i
End If
row = r.row + 1
Wend
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
