Hey @andreahq 

 

In this case, I would recommend first using a Text to Columns tool to first split your data into rows. From there, you can use a Multi-Row Formula tool to create an id for each record within each Location group. Finally, use a Filter to keep only the rows where the Location matches the record id.
