Hi everyone,

Could you please let me know how to remove all IDs except those that start with "T"? Any IDs that don't meet this criterion can be removed.

@shahnawaz_khan 
there is a formula "Startwith"

Try a Filter tool with expression

Startwith([ID],"T")

Another option would be a filter on LEFT([ID],1) = "T"
