Autocomplete doesn't kick in till you've entered enough to be unique.

So if you have
zxsfgfdsgdfsgdfs,gdsf,ng,sf.g,sfdgsdg,sdhg,s.h,gsh ,ngbh1
and
zxsfgfdsgdfsgdfs,gdsf,ng,sf.g,sfdgsdg,sdhg,s.h,gsh ,ngbh2
in previous cells, autocomplete won't do you much good since those
are unique only in the last character.

Autocomplete works only on the active column in contiguous ranges.

Is it possible to make some cells as if it is in contigous ranges?
