Simple count but with multiple variables in the column

Hey guys so my issue is that I have a table of lets say 3 counties A, B and C. And another table that has a row a column of "Contries for" but in this table you could have more than one contry listed (no reppition) and delimited by a comma. As shown below:

(Did it on excell just to show what I mean)

 

So what I did was use a simple count measure on "Countries For"  and when I try to tabulate it, it is just taking the rows with multiple countries as "Other" as represented by the blank row in the results I get. My question is how can I make it count every country in the coulumn.

    Try this MEASURE

    Measure =
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            Table2,
            SEARCH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Countries] ), [Countries For], 1, 0 ) > 0
        )
    )
