Hi Sabiha,
Try filter tool with the suitable condition, the data doesnt provide enough to create a condition but if you do find a pattern we can try something.

Sounds like a Filter tool! Where [Tick]=“x”

You will still need a Filter to reduce the rows down to 2., in this case use EndsWith([col1], “x”). Then use a Left([col1], 3) to extract the first three characters of each line

Thank you for your reply. I tried but its not getting filtered properly, not sure what I am missing. Please can you have a look at workflow. Thank you.

@sabihaS seems to be your data is in single cell,

That workflow shows exactly what you've described above IF they are separated into different cells

 

If they are not like you've tried to demonstrate, then you need a Text to Columns tool before the filter to split to rows on \n (aka newline)
