Hello,

I have a column with quantity having the unit of measure tacked on to it:

Column1
25g
50g
100g
25g
100g
100ml
25g
25g
25g
100g
10g
1kg

I can easily split the quantity and unit of measure, in Excel for Microsoft 365, using:

Power Query:
= Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "Column1", Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"}, (c) => not List.Contains({"0".."9"}, c)), {"Column1.1", "Column1.2"})

However, when I use the same M code in Excel 2016, it does not work.

Any help, please.

Thanks,
Gos-C

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
