Excel Echos Data

I don't know how else to put this, and I copied it below from Excel, but it didn't copy correctly. 

I have Windows 10 and Office 2016.

In Excel I typed what you see below, but 'Professional Radiology' 'echoes', or shows up, in the cell where 42851 is. It is in a strange format, I cannot delete it, change it, clear the formatting or anything. So I typed the same data in the row below, deleted the incorrect row above, and the data did the same thing! Is my Excel haunted? I've had this happen before, and I cannot find a cure. Help!

    You are typing 'echoes' but its converting to 42851. If this is the case, it seems like there is some problem in copying. 42851 seems to be a date format. Try changing the format to general or text. It'd be advisable if you could share the sheet.redheadfsa

      gyankosh  I think you misread my post. The data I type seems to copy itself into other cells. What I typed copied over the 42851 I had in the next cell.
