Filter or Formula to export into different worksheets

For the below data - I'd like to use a filter or formula for the input data and have the desired output:

(Please note the the values in browser/application columns may be (alphanumeric with special characters)

 

Input

Issuesbrowser/applicationOwner
1ChromeGoogle
2FireFoxmozilla
3Edgemicrosoft
4IEMicrosoft
5powerappsmicrosoft
6drivegoogle
7safariapple

 

Output

Issuesbrowser/applicationOwner
1ChromeGoogle
2FireFoxmozilla
5powerappsmicrosoft
6drivegoogle
7safariapple

 

Once the above is achieved I'd like to output the data into separate worksheets - an example below:

 

Worksheet 1

Issuesbrowser/applicationOwner
3Edgemicrosoft
4IEMicrosoft
5powerappsmicrosoft

 

Worksheet 2 

Issuesbrowser/applicationOwner
1ChromeGoogle
6drivegoogle

@geeklarokcmie Just filter out the fields that you don't want then use the output tool and configure like the attached workflow

Appreciate your response.

 

However, the input data has various values in applications/systems column and only three owners tied to various applications (ex: Jane Doe, John Doe, Jill Doe).

 

I want the desired output to have all the three owners along with only specific applications from John Doe. How is that achieved?

 

Also, how can I export the data based on a value in column to different worksheets?

@geeklarokcmie use a formula tool with file path of where you want it saved filepath/ + [owner(or other field you want to split into) ] + .xlsx|||sheet1

 

And then use the output tool saying get filepath from field

Appreciate your response.

 

But the formula tool is requiring an output column? And when I add the below formula it runs into the error :

 

filepath//C:\Users\JohnDoe\OneDrive - AE\Pro - T\SN + [owner(apple)]+ .xlsx|||sheet1

create a new field and call it filepath or anything you fancy

Files are being output as separate excel files. How can I output them as different sheets in the same excel workbook?

1Chrome - ProductionGoogleJohn Doe
2EdgeMicrosoftJill Doe

4Drive - ProductionGoogleJohn Doe
5PowerAppsMicrosoftJohn Doe
6FireFoxMozillaJane Doe
7SafariAppleJane Doe
8TikTokTikTokJane Doe
9LinkedINLinkedINJane Doe
10SnapChat-Model SnapChatJohn Doe

 

 

I'd like to output a result based on the above input - when the owner is John Doe but the applications does not contain the following values "Chrome", "Drive" and "SnapChat"

 

OutPut:

NumberApplicationGroupOwner
2EdgeMicrosoftJill Doe
3Iphone - ProductionAppleJill Doe
5PowerAppsMicrosoftJohn Doe
6FireFoxMozillaJane Doe
7SafariAppleJane Doe
8TikTokTikTokJane Doe
9LinkedINLinkedINJane Doe

 

Then, I'd like to export the output based on the group into same worksheets on the excel workbook:

Sheet1:

NumberApplicationGroupOwner
2EdgeMicrosoftJill Doe
5PowerAppsMicrosoftJohn Doe

 

Sheet2:

NumberApplicationGroupOwner
3Iphone - ProductionAppleJill Doe
