Default Autofill not consistent in document

Yes, I do mean "Autocomplete". The issue does involve the same column. I
have even made sure that the caps were consistent, but it hasn't made any
difference. For example: It will enter "Sean" after entering an "S", but
when a "D" is entered nothing happens even though"Deboroh" is in the same
column many times.

If you actually mean "Autocomplete" and not "Autofill" then be aware that the
data must be contiguous in the same column above or below the cell you expect
the autocomplete to work.

Autofill in a basic Excel document seems to be selective when moving from
cell to cell. In one cell it works fine and in another it doesn't recognize
an entry found many other times in the document. I've checked the "enable
autofill" box. Any suggestions?
