Align text to center of text field in double-column in Indesign

So, I want to achieve this effect, but then automatically (without having to edit the text manually):
alignment

So basically, the left column has to have a right alignment, and the right column has to have a left alignment. But because it’s a double column with ‘balance columns’ turned on, I don’t know how to achieve this. Because when I make two seperate text fields, the ‘balance columns’ option is gone, right?

So how can I achieve this effect easily without having to manually edit all text?

Thanks :)!

Answer

I’m not sure if this is “automated” enough for your needs, but you could try giving the left-hand column a right-aligned tab, and leaving the right-hand column as is (both columns still technically left-justified):
