Power Query PBI

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.

hello @Train23 , you can create a custom column.

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

Just select your column, go to the home tab and then select split column, out of all the types, pick split change non digit to digit as the next image
