    Help for dynamic dependent drop down box

    I amtrying to build a worksheet to simplify my job, but get stuck on this place.

    Bacically, I have one data base (table) with 2 colums,(A and B), A has all the names for all the conponents, and second on has serial numbers for the corresponding component.
    what I want to do is, in cell no.1, say C1, i put the component name with drop down box from data validation, (this part is done), then cell no.2, D1, i want to have a drop down box show all the serial number based on the previous component i choose.

    Here is an exmple of my original data table
    Name SN
    pencil 123
    eraser 122
    pencil 134
    eraser 345
    pen 239
    pen 309
    eraser 987
    pencil 087


    Note:
    I have read some relitave solusions, for instance, creat other couples of tables only have SN for pencil, pen, eraser respectively. But this solution is not applicable for this case since I have a lots of data. it is impossible to do that individually.

    Thanks in advance!
