Parsing real time data

My data source is coming from MS Forms, containing questions.  User responses can have multiple values within a single response.  For example:

 

employee 1 can enter location 1

employee 2 can enter location 1, location 2

 

This location data appears in a single column as

location 1;

location 1; location 2;

 

With the use of Flow, this data is automatically populating Power BI, but how can I parse the location data so that each value is on a separate row such as:

 

employee 1     location 1

employee 2     location 1

employee 2     location 2

One option is

Second

union(			
summarize(filter(table,not(isblank(table[location1]))),table[employee],table[location1]),
summarize(filter(table,not(isblank(table[location2]))),table[employee],table[location2])
)
