Customer1 has 3 orders; Oct 1 for 5000 [Small], Nov 1 for 12000 [Large], Dec 1 for 7000 [Medium]
>Customer2 has 0 orders;
>Customer3 has 2 orders; Nov 1 for 7000 [Medium], Dec 1 for 11000 [Large]
>Customer4 has 1 orders; Oct 1 for 4000 [Small]
>Customer5 has 0 orders;

Customer1  Dec 1   [Medium]
>Customer2  {//}    []

>Customer4  Oct 1   [Small]
>Customer5  {//}    []

>So far, my results have either wound up with 3 Customers(cutting out 2 and 5) or 8 Customers because of the duplicates. I know this shouldn't be that hard, but I'm not seeing what I missed.
