When I type past the end of the cell my text is spilling into the next empty cell. When I add a sum to the cell, it wont spill into the next cell and just cuts off at the end of the first cell. Any reason why this may be happening and how to fix it?

Things to note:-
The next cell is definitely empty and the same format as the first cell.
The cells have no colour fill
I cant adjust the column width as that will interfere with other parts of the sheet.
I can see a blue outline showing where the sum will end
Cell format is general
Sum = data from another sheet.
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Edit to add - its not spilling into the cell in the next column, not row.
