Is there a way to do a two way lookup between worksheets?

I'll try to make this simple and I posted a sample file. 

 

I have two worksheets.

One has my rosters with names, numbers, and each team (offense, defense, Kick off, kick off return, etc) 

The other has each team laid out in a grid,

 

I would like to be able to go into the cell for a certain player and team. For example player Joe Cool #25 team offense and type in X and have it put Joe Cool #25 in the X position on the team worksheet 

I think I could do this with a vlookup or match index function in the team worksheet cells. 

 

I would also like to be able to type in 25 in the X position on the team worksheet and have it change to Joe Cool #25 and put and X in cell that relates to Joe Cool #25 in the Offense Column on the roster worksheet.  I think I could do this with a vlookup function in the roster worksheet cells. 

 

But I want to have this work both ways. Is this possible and if so what function should I use?

  • Just to be sure, I'd like to clarify your columns.

    Is this what you mean?

     

    Worksheet 1:

    Names | Numbers | Team Role

    _________________________________

    Michael Oher | 73 | Offensive Tackle

     

    Worksheet 2:

    Team                   | Team Role | Player

    _________________________________________ 

    Baltimore Ravens| Offensive Tackle | Michael Oher

      Worksheet one:

      Worksheet 1:

      Names | Numbers | Offensive Role | Defensive Role | Kickoff Role | Kickoff return Role| Punt Role | Punt Return Role| PAT Role | 

      _________________________________

      Michael Oher | 73 | Offensive Left Tackle |     |     |     |     |     |  PAT Team Right Guard    | 

       

       

      Worksheet 2:

       

      Has each of the teams/roles laid out like they line up 

      Offensive      

      Defensive 

      Kickoff 

      Kickoff return

      Punt

      Punt Return

      PAT

       

      So for Offense in the Left Tackle Position you would find: Michael Oher  73  

      And for the PAT in the Right Guard Position you would find:  Michael Oher  73

       

      Does that make sense? 

       

       

  • I was never able to get this to work. I did come up with a 3 option. Have a hidden worksheet that populates both sheets, but I'm going to assume I stumped the excel Gods.
