    Hi Aasozab, I recommend you to create new pair of columns with extracted values:

     

     

    [Extracted Date]

     

    if (try Date.From([Column1]) otherwise false) is date then [Column1] else [Column2]

     

     

    [Extracted Text]

     

    if [Column1] = [Extracted Date] then [Column2] else [Column1]
