Filter data from multiple choice MS forms

Hey, 

I newbie in Power Bi and others, I've got some issue with filtering those data from ms forms while allow mutliple choice:

RespinBA_0-1597044148008.png

I collect those data to sharepoint list - text column, and later one using power BI to create a report. 
The problem is that I can not filter "example answ" , "example answ2", "example answ3", but only "["example answ","example answ2","example answ3"]. 
Do you have any ideas or suggestion what to do? 

#edit 
If I will split those by comma it will create additional column.


Ty for any help 🙂

I want to split the answer column to be able to filter for each Example: 

  • Example1
  • Example2
  • Example3
  • Example4

not like :

  • Example1,Example2,Example3
  • Example2,Example4 

 

Id

NumberAnswer
17Example1,Example2,Example3
25Example2,Example4 

I am able to split with column, but then it will create additional column "Answer.1", "Answer.2" etc, and i Will not be able to filter it in one column.

But then if I will split with Row it will duplicate those numbers. 

 

IdNumberAnswerAnswer2 - column.1Answer2 - column.2Answer2 - column.3Answer3 - Row

15Example1,Example2,Example3Example1Example2Example3Example1
15Example1,Example2,Example3Example1Example2Example3Example2
15Example1,Example2,Example3Example1Example2Example3Example3
27Example2,Example4Example2Example4nullExample2
27Example2,Example4Example2Example4nullExample4
38Example1Example1nullnullExample1
421Example2,Example3Example2Example3nullExample2
421Example2,Example3Example2Example3nullExample3

What is incorrect, but filtering works fine any suggestion to get those numbers once? 

Hope I wrote it clearly.

@RespinBA 

Can you show me your source data and the expected output for just one or two rows?

@RespinBA , you can remove square bracket or relace them with {, then it will become list and you will have option split on the column header (expand icon) on right-click menu

 

if you remove then you can use split
