Unique, Filter, Spill, Multiple Unique Identifiers

Hello All - I am running into an issue where I have 200 #'s that I am required to filter by their unique Names. Each of those names come with unique identifiers that are categorized into 4 categories of which category 1 has 5 values, category 2 has 10 values, 3 has 20, and so on. I have been able to figure out a formula, that combines Unique(Filter(Identifier2,Sheet2!NameColumn=Sheet1!Name)*(Sheet2!Identifier1=Sheet1!Identifier1). This formula is to identify unique identifier 2. 

 

Issue being, when I get multiple unique values, I have to go in and manually alter to the next identifier, with some being upwards of 30. Is there another way to this process? Example pasted below.

    Your example, is that the expected outcome? Please post both a sample of the source data along with the expected outcome.

      Thanks, test excel workbook has been attached. There is dummy data on the left hand side with the formula on the right hand side under the header test. Hope this helps.
