When I start typing text into a cell, isn't excel supposed to automatically
fill the cell with the completed word or phrase it it's already been used in
the same column?
This seems to only work sporadically for me. Has anyone else had this
problem?

Jennifer, do you have any blank cells between your data?

Yes, there are blank cells in the column.

Jennifer, autofill will only work up to the blank cells
