    r = Table.TransformColumns(
        Source, 
        {"ABC", (x) => 
            [num = try Number.From(x) otherwise null,
            txt = if num = null then x else null]}
    ),
    expand = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(r, "ABC", {"num", "txt"})

Hi,

 

Another solution

= Table.SplitColumn(
Source,
"ABC",
(x) => if Value.Is(x, type number) then {x,null} else {null,x},
{"Num", "Text"}
)
