Displaying data from a column with support for multiple values

I've been struggling with a specific task in a few different areas.

I have a column in my Sharepoint list which is populated from a combo box in the sharepoint list form. This column can have multiple values selected in an entry.

 

We are taking this list and using it as a data source in Powerapps. I am trying to do multiple things with this data and am struggling.

The problems:

  1. I cannot figure out how to take the distinct values and show them in a combo box for filtering.
  2. How do I iteratively display this column in my gallery? (Since there are multiple, it is showing up as a table type).

 

Sample Data:

What the data looks like (this isn't the data I'm using, but it's easier to describe this way)

TitleDescriptionGenre
Life is a HighwayBy Rascal Flatts

"Pop", "Rock"

Through the WireBy Kanye West

"Rap"

In this case, I'd want my combo box to display uniquely "Pop", "Rock" and "Rap", and for each item in my gallery to display their respective genres.
