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

This cannot be done with a single DAX calculated column formula. One will have to write one formula for each column. The problem would be scalability (what if there are 6 commas in a cell?)
