Hey, Sudhakar. There are multiple ways to solve this, and I'll give you some directions I think light be helpful but won't solve your specific problem. You'll have to find some sort of pattern in your strings and use string manipulation functions to reach your goal For example, you can create a new binary variable based in a condition (e.g. string starts with letter 'A') and the filter through this column.
