Generate rows based on a column value - Informatica

Q) How to generate or load values in to the target table based on a column value using informatica etl tool.
I have the products table as the source and the data of the products table is shown below.
Table Name: Products
Product  Quantity
-----------------
Samsung  NULL
Iphone   3
LG       0
Nokia    4
Now i want to duplicate or repeat each product in the source table as many times as the value in the quantity column. The output is
product  Quantity
----------------
Iphone   3
Iphone   3
Iphone   3
Nokia    4
Nokia    4
Nokia    4
Nokia    4
The Samsung and LG products should not be loaded as their quantity is NULL, 0 respectively.
Now create informatica workflow to load the data in to the target table?
