Default Lookup validation data

I have a problem I thought would be simple!
Worksheet 1
A B C
MTRL-A Validation list VALUE1
MTRL-B
MTRL-C

Worksheet 2
MTRL-A Length
MTRL-A Diameter
MTRL-A Color
MTRL-B Length
MTRL-C Tensile Strength

This should be simple. On Worksheet 1, a material number is enterred. In
column B I want a list of the only the matching values in worksheet 2. So if
MTRL-A is enterred by the user, only the values Length, Diameter, and Color
are valid entries in column B. If they enter MTRL-C, only Tensile Strength
is a valid entry.

This is a piece of cake in Access. How do I do it in Excel? I tried using
VLookup in my validation list source but I only get the last valid value, not
all the valid values. Any suggestions?
