Cannot seem to get the REDO button in an enabled status. Remains greyed out
while UNDO works normally. Anyone have an idea why, Please?

This is a very interesting question. And you have really good observation. :

Excel has two functions:
1) REPEAT
2) REDO

They're different.

When you did something, you can press the command Ctrl+Y to repeat the
previous step. However, the REDO button remains inactive most of the time.
Why? Because you haven't UNDO something.

The REDO button is to REDO a step you just UNDO.

So, let's do a simple test.
1) Type something in some cells.
2) Select one cell. Right-click. Choose Clear Content.
3) Select another cell. Press Ctrl+Y to repeat.
4) Observe the REDO button still inactive.
5) Now, press Ctrl+Z to undo.
6) Observe the REDO button. Now you can REDO the previous UNDO step!!
