let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclYwMtQ3MNY3tFRwVjA30jMwUNJRctXxV4rViVZy93WFShuYAqWNzE1R5b1dQRwwMyTYxxFhVICCqYGBAapiR9+gYIjyWAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Text.BeforeDelimiter([Column1], " ")),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom.1", each Text.BetweenDelimiters([Column1], " ", ".", 2, 1))

Hello @PoojaTekriwal ,

 

I am not sure its possible to split column with condition. But you can filter the value on the column and then split the column. But that will skipped the other data. I am not sure whether you will get the desired result you want.
