Multivalue column split into table?

i have a datasource that is converted  into a table. There are columns within the table that contain multivalues separated by a semi colon, So for example like this:

IDDepartmentYearsColour
1Billing;Stores;Office3Red;Blue
2Office;Billing7Green;Orange
3Stores10pink

 

So i am trying to extract the multivalue fields, perhaps put them into their own table? But i cannot see anyway of doing this after i have already converted the original datasource into a table. Any ideas?
