Use this
= Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"},{"A".."Z", "a".."z"})(Text.SplitAny([Input],"/-"" """){0}){0}
Hi there
Place the following M code in a blank query to see the steps.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnQyNDI2MTVzclYwNjA2VorVgYkBRYwMjIyUYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}),
#"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Changed Type", "Column1", "Column1 - Copy"),
#"Split Column by Character Transition" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Duplicated Column", "Column1 - Copy", Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"}, (c) => not List.Contains({"0".."9"}, c)), {"Column1 - Copy.1", "Column1 - Copy.2"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Split Column by Character Transition",{"Column1 - Copy.2"}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Column1 - Copy.1", "Output"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"
