Extract text based on string

Hello all I'm hoping that you can can help me out.

 

I have a table with quite a few columns. One of those columns has semicolon seperated values. These values can be in any order and number so I can't just pick x from a position.

What I am attemting to do is extract the values into a new column that have a unique starting string and always contain a -  (but can be varying lengths).

 

 

So something like this:

Existing ColumnDesired Column
Value-setA;set-Value;set-Value;RandoM;CustomerNValue-setA
set-Values;set-Value;Value-setB;RandomzValue-setB
set-Values;set-Value;Value-setB-var2;RandomzValue-setB-var2
set-Values;set-Value;Randomz;Value-setB

Value-setB
