Delimit Column to Multiple Rows Using DAX

This is probably a niche use, but has anybody found a way to delimit a column into multiple rows rather than multiple columns using DAX?

 

Ex: 

Keys

1|2|3|4

 

Into

 

Keys

1

2

3

4

Yes, you can use the PATHITEM function for that.

 

Table = DATATABLE("Keys",STRING,{{"1|2|3|4"}})
 
Table 2 =
var t = max('Table'[Keys])
return ADDCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(1,PATHLENGTH(t),1),"Keys",PATHITEM(t,[Value]))
