Default 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
