Autocomplete for cell values
 
Dolores,

Autocomplete only works if the entire string matches from the beginning to the point where you are
typing. If the ending is the same (the @etc part), you could use a column of formulas to add that
part to the beginning part of the address:

With

firstname.lastname

in cell A2, the formula

=A2 & "@etc"

will return

firstname.lastname@etc

And then copy that formula down to match your list.

HTH,
Bernie
