Separating multiple URLs into separate links

I am working on a report that injests a CSV file for its data source. One of the column has URLs to related websites. Some of the rows have up to 13 URLs, seperated by a comma. When I put this into a table, if I try to format the value as a URL, the link doesnt work because it trys to pass the URL as the full value of the cell.

 

I tried spitting the columns in Transform by the comma delimeter, but that just gives me 12 extra columns in my table. How can I parse the data in each value so that it renders like this:

 

NameURL(s)

Thing 1

https://site1.com

https://site2.com

.....

Thing 2

https://site1.com

https://site2.com

.....

Split it by comma as you did then select all of the resulting columns and Unpivot.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

This created 25% more rows. What I was looking for is a way to seperate each value into a single link, but keep them all in the same cell.
