Default Exel Data Entry

When entering data into an excel spreadsheet, it starts to recognise
repetitive words being used which is very handy and time saving, however, one
of the columns has stopped recognising anything. There are no blank spaces
and I can't understand why it has stopped picking up the previous words.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Default Exel Data Entry

If there are many similar entries, Autocomplete may appear to stop
working, because so many letter must be entered before a unique match is
found.

Or if you're far from the previous entry, it may not be detected, as
described in the following MSKB article:
