Hi Experts of Excel!
Please help me if you can! I am a complete Newbie and addicted to Excel.
There are 2 Components to my problem, and I think there is surely a better way to achieve it!
I will set out the Raw Data Template first!

I have around 200k Lines of raw data, and I would like to find items that the Customers have purchased by Name or Customer No# and display all relevant purchases in a list like above.
This is the forumla I have used to get the Order No# from a partial/full search of Name or Cust No#.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(SMALL(IF(IF(ISERROR(SEARCH($Z$1,$A2:$A7&" "&$B$2:$B$7)),FALSE,TRUE),ROW($C$2:$C$7)),$Y2),CHOOSE({1,2},ROW($C$2:$C$7),$A2:$A7),2,0),"")
This has been able to give me a result of all matches that relate to my SEARCH : John Doe.
Even if I were to use a partial SEARCH : John , all the John Doe, John Smith Order number will appear.
The problem is, I heard that using a double =vlookup(vlookup is a faster way to search through large data numbers. I have been trying to get the partial search to work with the vlookup and I have not been able to.

Part 2
If I am able to get a whole list of Relevant info using the formula above, a single SEARCH: of John, or Jane will bring about information that is actually irrelevant to the information I need.
How can i compile and combine data from 2 different name searchs?
SEARCH : John Doe, SEARCH : Jane Doe.
How can i combine these 2 data lists together to fit in a dynamic table. Can the Tables function accommodate this feature?
Some Customers might have 10 or 100 purchases.

Thank you in advance, If any of this doesn't make any sense, please let me know if you can help or guide me along the right way to research and study a feature of Excel.
