Sub RepeatValues()

Dim x As Range, SelectedRange As Range, OutputRange As Range

Range("E:F").ClearContents
Range("E1:F1").Value = [{"Result","Sorted Data"}]

Set SelectedRange = Application.Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown).End(xlToRight))
Set OutputRange = Application.Range("E2")

For Each x In SelectedRange.Rows
Occurrence = x.Range("A1").Value
xNumber = x.Range("B1").Value
OutputRange.Resize(Occurrence, 1).Value = xNumber
Set OutputRange = OutputRange.Offset(Occurrence, 0)
Next

Range("E2:F" & Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).FillRight
Range("F1", Range("F1").End(xlDown)).Sort Key1:=Range("F1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
@mychi11 Maybe a simple If ******* ?

VBA Code:
Sub RepeatValues()

Dim x As Range, SelectedRange As Range, OutputRange As Range

Range("E:F").ClearContents
Range("E1:F1").Value = [{"Result","Sorted Data"}]

Set SelectedRange = Application.Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown).End(xlToRight))
Set OutputRange = Application.Range("E2")

For Each x In SelectedRange.Rows
    Occurrence = x.Range("A1").Value
    
    If Not Occurrence = 0 Then   '***********
        xNumber = x.Range("B1").Value
        OutputRange.Resize(Occurrence, 1).Value = xNumber
        Set OutputRange = OutputRange.Offset(Occurrence, 0)
     End If
     
Next

Range("E2:F" & Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).FillRight
Range("F1", Range("F1").End(xlDown)).Sort Key1:=Range("F1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes

'MsgBox "A new list has been created in E column with data repeated multiple times and sorted data in F column.", vbOKOnly, "Excel by Romeo Costillas"

End Sub

Hope that helps.

It's quite tricky. the code skip the empty cell and fails to run the rest.
Even if the cell is zero or empty

If you have potential for blank cells in the range of interest then you need to modify the way the last row / end of range is being determined.

Try like the below. (Ignore the formulas I have used to set up my trial data.)

VBA Code:
Sub RepeatValues()

Dim x As Range, SelectedRange As Range, OutputRange As Range
Dim Lastr As Long
Dim Rng As Range

Range("E:F").ClearContents
Range("E1:F1").Value = [{"Result","Sorted Data"}]

'To find last row of A:B with significant value
'need to account for formulas returning zeros and/or blanks ?

Set Rng = Intersect(UsedRange, Columns("A:B"))
    Lastr = Evaluate("max(if(" & Rng.Address & "<>"""",row(" & Rng.Address & ")))")



Set SelectedRange = Range("A2:A" & Lastr)
Set OutputRange = Application.Range("E2")

For Each x In SelectedRange.Rows
    Occurrence = x.Range("A1").Value
     xNumber = x.Range("B1").Value
     
    If Not (Occurrence = "" Or xNumber = "" Or Occurrence = 0 Or xNumber = 0) Then
       
        OutputRange.Resize(Occurrence, 1).Value = xNumber
        Set OutputRange = OutputRange.Offset(Occurrence, 0)
     End If
     
Next

Range("E2:F" & Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).FillRight
Range("F1", Range("F1").End(xlDown)).Sort Key1:=Range("F1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes

'MsgBox "A new list has been created in E column with data repeated multiple times and sorted data in F column.", vbOKOnly, "Excel by Romeo Costillas"

End Sub
