Parse Cell Data into new rows in new table?

Hello, 

Can cell data from a table be parsed into a new table with the cell values as a new row?  

This data is in PowerBi from a SQL table, but I've formatted some of it in Excel for simplicity of this post: 

The top table is what the cells look like with the values separated by a comma.  The idea is that the new table can create a new row for each of these separated values, and every other value in the row is the same.  Is this possible in PowerBi??

*It's not necessary to separate the 'MEAL' values.  My table relationships only use the unique MEAL_EXT_OBJECT_ID numbers.  

** I can't modify the way the application writes to the database either

 

Thanks in advance, 

Andrew

  • in power query editor there is a menu of "Split Column", and in that menu, there is a advanced function of splitting it to rows
