When you are typing in a list n Excel, it will often suggest an item from a previous one entered if they are appear to be similar. For example if you were typing in the months of the year, when you typed in the Ma of May, it would suggest March for you. With only the Ma typed, if you pressed the Return key, it would put in March for you. Autocomplete can be useful when you are typing a list that has a lot of repetitions in it. When typing a formula, Excel can help to show the different components a formula has, in a similar facility.

Yes.

Rather than having to continuously type the entirety of the same word over and over, for example, this feature allows you to only have to type as much of the word as is needed to uniquely identify it. This saves you time.

When you are entering a function, after you type an = (equal sign) and beginning letters or a display trigger, Excel displays below the cell a drop-down list of valid functions, names, and text strings that match the letters or trigger. This is the Autocomplete list for the functions. When you then pick a function, you can also get help for the individual arguments within the function.

If you are typing something in a column that is similar to something already typed into it, it will display that full piece of text and you can press return to enter it into a cell.
