Hello does anyone know how seperate a column in Power Query that contains Text and Numbers but the different data types are on seperate rows. I would like to seperate the rows with Text into a single column and the rows with numbers into another single column. See example below, this data is coming into PBI as "web" and is the export of a report.

Number.From(Text.Select([Column1],{"0".."9"}))
