Counting words from list to make Bar Graph.

I have a List of items that need to be counted and put into a bar graph in Power BI, but The data has some items combined in the same Excel Cell. How can i count the items from the list in the data and display them separately?

example:

Hi @Dexrend

 

Split column by ',':

vxulinmstf_0-1630917592508.png

Unpivot columns as:

Create List table:

List = 
VALUES('Table'[Value])

Create measure as:

Measure = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNT('Table'[Value]),
    FILTER(
        'Table','Table'[Value]=MAX(List[Value])
    )
)

Here is the outptu:
