Hi @SarikaB 

 

You can create two seperate column with below code:-

 

withDate = 

VAR firstLetter =
    LEFT ( Table[Date], 1 )
VAR numList = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0" }
RETURN
    IF ( firstLetter IN numList, Table[Date], BLANK () )

 

 

 

withText = 
VAR firstLetter =
    LEFT ( Table[Date], 1 )
VAR numList = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0" }
RETURN
    IF ( NOT firstLetter IN numList, Table[Date], BLANK () )

 

 

Output:-
