Split column by dot

I have row with the format xx.2022, and I want to split in two columns by the dot, example 05.2022 in 05 and 2021 in different rows, but I have 05 and

2.022E+14

 (202199999999999) How can I transform that value to 2022?

Assuming your 20219999 column is text, you can use and expression like this.  Replace "202199999" with your column reference.

 

= Number.Round(Number.FromText(Text.Start("2021999999", 5))/10, 0)
