Parsing out multiple values in a single column

Hi,

 

I have a column coming in from a report that can contain any number of values from an option set, and I'd like to somehow parse it out so that I can use a slicer in my own BI report that recreates the option set. For example, the column is coming in similar to the screenshot below, and I'd like to have a slicer in my BI that would have System A, System B, System C, and System D as the possible values. What is the best way of achieving this?
