Default Lookup Function help


I'm trying to use the Lookup function to return two values in a row.
E.g.:

worksheet1
column A=lookup values (in this example, the lookup value is "3"--which
is listed twice in the column)

columns B & C=data to be returned

worksheet 2
when the lookup value "3" is found, cells A1 and B1 should contain the
values from Sheet1 cells B1 and C1

when the lookup value "3" is found, cells A2 and B2 should contain the
values from Sheet1 cells B2 and C2

The formula I have is =VLOOKUP(3,Sheet1!A1:C6,{2,3}). In sheet2, I
selected cells A1 and B1 and array entered this formula in the formula
bar.

Result: Excel returns the correct values in A1 and B1, but doesn't find
the other instances of the look up value. When I select a cell and drag
the formula down, it only copies the values, it doesn't do a look up.
Why is Excel only finding one instance of the lookup value? Thanks.
