Comment? Note? What is this message?

I downloaded an excel template with the following messages in the table titles.

It is not a comment or note. What is it and how do I change, edit or get rid of them?

Thanks.

    It's the input message of a Data Validation rule.

    Select the cell.

    On the Data tab of the ribbon. click Data Validation.

    On the Settings tab, you'll see that the Allow drop-down has been set to List.

    The Source box specifies what the drop-down list in the cell will display.

    The Input Message tab contains the text shown in your screenshot. You can either clear the check box in this tab, or edit/clear the text.

      HansVogelaar Thank you. That data validation choices was not familiar to me. So, I practiced several conditions to master that part of the ribbon. 

      Thanks again.
