Hello @naraj,

and welcome to KNIME Community!

Reference Row Filter/Splitter node only accepts one column. Check bottom topic for ideas and workarounds. Will add +1 to existing ticket. (Internal Reference: AP-2843).

Reference Row Filter & Splitter nodes make it possible to filter a table using a reference table. You can choose a pair of columns and the node filter table rows if the values are equal. Nice, convenient, helpful. But it could get even better if it was possible to pick some additional columns. What about making it similar to the Joiner node?
