Default match number in a string of numbers

Let's say you order numbers are in column A and amounts are in column B. In
C1 enter

=RIGHT(A1,2) and copy down. This will display your customer id.

Next pull_down:

Data Filter Autofilter This will permit you to select any particular
customer id and view only that customer's rows of data.

I have a column of 5 digit numbers, the first 3 digits are an item code and
the last 2 identify which customer it is going to. In an adjacent column I
have the quantity of the product is being pulled by the customer.

How do I lookup the last 2 digits, to identify the customer, and get the
quantity that is being pulled without having to go through the sheet of
hundreds of different orders?

I am stuck.
