Auto Complete Text is not working in 365 / Excel 2016.

Auto Complete Text is not working in 365 / Excel 2016.  It works for a few entries in the column, then stops, requiring complete word typing, even though there are matching words in the column.  Was working fine prior to receiving 365 push about a week ago.  Checked the options setting; it is enabled.

And those matches are unambiguous? I mean if there is more than one entry starting with the characters you have typed so far, Excel will not show any autocomplete.

Did you ever get this fixed? I have a similar problem, although it wont work at all.
