Excel yellow label that i cant seem to edit

All,

 

What is this yellow box and why cant I edit it?  I'm using a Microsoft Excel template

 

Ive tried selecting it and nothing happens

 

 

 

 

  • To me it seems like a data validation input message.

    To remove it, go to the data tab, select data validation, then there is a tab in the middle named 'input message' and unselect 'show input message when cell is selected'.

    This (hopefully) should remove this yellow box
