Separate text value in the column

I have a column that has two names, like manager's name and supervisor's name, but it hasn't a pattern. Sometimes the manager's name is the first name, sometimes not. I want to separate these names ...

    Hi denersena 

     

    If you know who is a supervisor or a manager, please prepare another table which has two columns indicating the position title of every person. For example,

     

    Then split the original column by delimiter ";" in the old table. 

     

    Add custom steps in the formula bar to get Supervisor and Manager Names list separately. 

     

    Then add custom columns to determine whether the Supervisor Name List or Manager Name List contains that person. 

     

    After that, remove the first two columns. You will have the result you want. I have attached the demo at bottom. You can download it to see details.
