Hi Anonymous
I would recommend that you create a table which unpivots the Installer names into a single column, along with a column containing the identifer of the original record (I'm assuming a Job ID of some sort). You can also include a "Role" column. Something like this:
Job ID Name Role Job01 Joe Installer 1
Job01 Hannibal Installer 2 Job01 Harry Installer 3 Job02 Joe Installer 1 Job03 Mason Installer 1 Job04 Frederick Installer 1 Job04 Joe Installer 2 This table is then related to the original table on the Job ID column, either directly or via an intermediate table containing unique Job IDs (if necessary), The relationship with the above table would need to be bidirectional.
Then you can search/filter on the single Name column.

Yes. That worked perfectly. Thanks.

Glad to hear it 🙂
For yourself or anyone who is interested, attached is a small example of how I would do the unpivoting (Power Query recommended).
