Annoying "Convert To Stocks" popup

I've created an Excel spreadsheet in O365 to document my paper trades. Every time I click on the ticker column this "Convert To Stocks" popup appears. Unless I take the focus off of the cell first and put it back it ends up converting the cell's contents and then I have to Undo the change. Annoying to say the least. I've done a search and followed to the how-to's to stop it from popping up but it didn't help. How did I get rid of that **bleep** thing?

    You'd have to disable connected experiences in File | Info | Privacy settings (Presuming you're using Excel on the Web).  This would disable connected experiences in web and desktop M365 apps.

      OK, thanks Patrick. I found the setting and turned it off. Shouldn't be a problem going forward. Cheers.
