Setting Print Areas Not Working in Excel 2016

I'm trying to establish print areas for my Excel sheet. I’ve done this many times before. I'm no expert, but I'm not a newbie either. I can’t get Excel to take what I input. No error messages are generated, but after I exit, Excel will revert to some odd page sequence in the print area field that makes no sense and certainly isn't what I entered. I’ve tried entering the cell range manually and creating using the mouse to create the print area.

What am I missing?

Thanks.
