In a custom column named SubGroupDisplay, put following formula (Replace Data will your column name)

= [s=Text.Replace(Text.Trim(Text.BeforeDelimiter([Data],"/")),"-"," "),
r=if s<>"Full Time" and s<>"Part Time" then "Agency and Contractors" else s][r]

See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test (later on when you use the query on your dataset, you will have to change the source appropriately. If you have columns other than these, then delete Changed type step and do a Changed type for complete table from UI again)

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcivNydENycxN1ffLz9N1rUjNLShRitWJVnLOzyspSkwuyS8Cc0HqFEDqFPQVXHzAQgGJRSVgragKIHJF+VmpySUK/nk5lWCBsNS8lPwiBd/EzLyS1LzEvGSgulgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Data = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "SubGroupDisplay", each [s=Text.Replace(Text.Trim(Text.BeforeDelimiter([Data],"/")),"-"," "),
r=if s<>"Full Time" and s<>"Part Time" then "Agency and Contractors" else s][r])
in
    #"Added Custom"

[SanketBhagwat]

Can you share the output you are getting after splitting the column?

[SanketBhagwat]

Hi @Mahamood0218 .
You can split columns using delimeter, in delimeter you can specify as "/".

Refer the below link for more info.
