Default Populating a data validation list based on criteria

Hi,

Is there any way of populating the data validation list of a cell
based on the selection in another list driven data validated cell?

For example:

Using the table below,

Col_A Col_B
1 Football
1 Running
2 Baseball
2 Swimming


I want Cell A2 to have the list options 1 and 2.
Then if the user selects 1 in Cell A2, I want the user to have the
options Football and Running in Cell B2.

Regards,
Ciarán
