From PQE, you can perform the below for having last 2 digits of Number column:
1. Duplicate the Number column
2. Perform below operations from Home ->Transform section at top:
Split Column >> By Number of Characters

3. Modify with below:
Number of Characters = 2
Split = Once, as far right as possible

4. Remove unwanted split column and rename new column

Alternatively, you can use below formula in Advanced Editor:
#"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Changed Type", "Number", "Duplicated Number"),
#"Split Column by Position" = Table.SplitColumn(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Duplicated Column", {{"Duplicated Number", type text}}, "en-IN"), "Duplicated Number", Splitter.SplitTextByPositions({0, 2}, true), {"Duplicated Number", "New Number"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Split Column by Position",{"Duplicated Number"})

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you !!!
