Hey friends,
Can someone help me to create a sheet where I can get the State name by entering city name.
For eg; When I put Barwon Downs(city) in column A, column B should reflect Victoria (state). Attached is the sheet with data.

With your city in A1 of another sheet, this in B1:
=VLOOKUP(A1,CityLookup!A:B,2,0)

Is there any solution where I do not have to run this formula everytime if want to find the state?
What do you mean? You just have to change the city in A1. If that's not what you want, then show us the expected outcome. There has to be a lookup list somewhere for Excel to refer to.
I am really sorry for the trouble but I am new to excel. Could you show me the formula in the attached sheet?
Type Barwon Downs manually into CityLookup!A1:
Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit
Barwon Downs Victoria
Sheet: CityLookup
Copy and paste this into B1:
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet3!A:B,2,0)
and hit ENTER.
Thank you very much...You are a life saver...
Glad to have helped!

In another way.
In sheet "CityLookup" in "A2" using datavalidation.
In"B2"Formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet3!$B$2:$B$134,MATCH(CityLookup!$A$2,Sheet3!$A$2:$A$134,0)),"Not In List")
See attach file.
