Summarize Column of Delimited Strings

Hi,

 

I have a column of text delimited by commas and need to count the instance of each delimited string. For example:

 

Column

abc,xyz

abc,lmn,qrs

xyz,qrs

 

I know how to split the column by the delimiters, but that doesn't seem to help the situation. I would like to yield a separate table with 2 columns: 1, with each distinct string and 2, the number of instances.

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi, In Query Editor:

 

1: Split by Delimeter

2. Unpivot Columns

3. Remove Column  (Attribute)

4. Group By (Values)--Count
