    OK, being gentle, the task you've asked about--autocomplete from another worksheet--is possible (although the more accurate term would be that you'd be using "Data Validation" to create a dropdown list of the names, from which you'd pick the correct one (assuming these are all in the same workbook, just on different sheets within that single workbook)....

     

    Here's a good link to learn how that works: https://exceljet.net/glossary/data-validation

     

    Feel free to come back for more help if you wish.
