Default Looking up data

I hope someone can help me on this:
I have an inventory database where thousands of parts have different bin
locations. What I need is a formula(s) that can tell me all bin locations
where a part is located but horizontally. For example, I have a master data
that looks something like this:

Part # Bin Locations
1111 A1
2222 B5
3333 G7
1111 H9
7777 C2
8888 D1
1111 E3
4444 F8
5555 A3
6666 H2
2222 B9
3333 E2

Then, in sheet 2 my final result should be something like this:

Part # Location 1 Location 2 Location 3 Location 4
1111 A1 H9 E3
2222 B5 B9
3333 G7 E2
4444 F8
5555 A3
6666 H2
7777 C2
8888 D1

Data on Part # column should be entered manually and the Bin Location info
automatically appears after I typed the part #.

P.S. Please don't tell me just what you would do (macro, v-lookup, etc) but
show me what you did. I have no idea how to start.
