Defeat cell repeat

I want to defeat Calc’s filling a cell with the previous cell’s value. All cells are set to “text”. I am using Version: 6.4.2.2 under Mac OS 10.15.4 on a MacBook Pro.

When I enter data, Calc assumes I want the same value as appeared in the preceding cell in the column. How do I prevent that from happening?

Disable ToolsAutoInput.
