Get distinct Employee

I feel like i'm getting close.  I've been able to create a calculated table that contains a column with each of the values between your /.  The only problem is i've been unable to plug this calculated column into DISTINCTCOUNT.  I can use COUNTX for it.  I'll post my work so far and hopefully someone else can get it over the line.

STEP 1.  Create a dummytbl that is a single column,  Rows are the values: 1, 2, 3, ...., <The upper limit to be held in column of Employee Names>.

Step 2. Here is my count measure:

EmployeeCount = COUNTX(   //This is the row that does the count
 SUMMARIZE(     //This will make the distinct values in our column
  ADDCOLUMNS(    //This creates the calculated column of our Employee Names
   FILTER(    //This cuts down the dummy table to only be the size of the number of Names we have
    CROSSJOIN(  //This Merges our Dummy Table with the Employee Names
     SUMMARIZE( //This creates each 'Employee Name' row
      Table1,
      Table1[Employees],
      Table1[Name],
      "NamesCnt",
      1 + len(Table1[Employees]) - len(SUBSTITUTE(Table1[Employees], "/", "")) //Count of Slashes
     ),
     DummyTbl
    ),
    DummyTbl[Dummy] <= [NamesCnt]
   ),
   "SubName",
   PATHITEM(   // This function splits up the Employee names to be placed in each row
    SUBSTITUTE(Table1[Employees], "/", "|"),
    DummyTbl[Dummy]
   )  
  ),
  [SubName]
 ),
 [SubName]  
)
