    Hi Malsha 

    You can refer to the following calculated table

    Table 2 =
    VAR a =
        ADDCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "path", SUBSTITUTE ( [Supervisors], ",", "|" ) )
    RETURN
        SUMMARIZE (
            ADDCOLUMNS (
                a,
                "Supervisor1", PATHITEM ( [path], 1 ),
                "Supervisor2", PATHITEM ( [path], 2 ),
                "Supervisor3", PATHITEM ( [path], 3 )
            ),
            [Employee_ID],
            [Supervisor1],
            [Supervisor2],
            [Supervisor3]
        )
    

    Output

     

    Best Regards!
