Splitting Column with multiple lines of text

I have a column of data I'm trying to split out that looks like the folowing:

Academic Pay

FN40 Academic Support

J000613 - Librarian - III

Monthly

P0064472 Librarian - III - NAME HERE

Regular

UNLV1-Medical District

 

All of my attempts to break this out into multiple columns has failed. Looking for suggestions. I'm relatively new to Power BI, so apologies if I've overlooked something simple.

Hi @SmedinghoffUNLV ,

 

Would you please try to split the column by line break(#(lf))?

Then move the blank columns:
