#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "Column1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("*", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Column1.1", "Column1.2"}),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Split Column by Delimiter", "Custom.1", each if Text.Start([Column1.1], 1)="S" then [Column1.1] else Text.End([Column1.1], Text.PositionOf([Column1.1], "S"))),
