    HI h0ttamale,

     

    This could be done by Query Editor (M Language) as below steps:

    • Click Edit Queries 
    • In Query Editor, Choose Add Column tab -> Choose Custom Column
    • Name for new column: NewContact with formula: Text.Split([Contact],";")
    • In the top right of NewContact column, choose Expand to new rows

     

    If this works for you please accept it as solution and also like to give KUDOS.

    Best regards
