Filter Data by Strings inside Character Column

Hi everyone,

I have some data around complaints from users. Their complaints are sorted into categories, but one complaint can be assigned multiple categories. These categories are stored in a column and are seperated by a comma if there's more than 1. It looks like this:

 

idcategory
1Technical
2Technical,Guidance
3Customer Service
4Guidance
5Technical
6Technical
7Customer Service,Technical

 

What I want to do is to be able to create a slicer where the user can select any of those categories and filter to the relevant id, but I don't want combined categories like "Technical,Guidance"

There's a great solution in this post about how to achieve this, but my problem is that I also want to count the volume of responses for each category. This would mean I could make a line or bar chart to show how the proportion of complaints for each category has changed over time and the user could click on a cateogry to filter to the relevant id's in another visual.

I've added some sample data here.

Any help is much appreciated!

One option is to split into rows in Power Query:
