Default how do you turn off overwrite?

I am fairly new to excel, so I'm hoping I am explaining this correctly. I
set up a chart in excel and saved it. My problem is, when I go in and open
the file up, I'm filling the information at the top of the chart, such as the
date, and right after I type the date I have a spot that says Product Name,
so I start to move my cursor over to that spot and whatever key i click on,
Product Name disappears. Thats why I'm thinking I want to turn off
overwrite. Can anyone help me with this?

I did go down below and in my columns and I am able to type in numbers and
nothing disappears there, so its just up top.

This is how it looks on my excel sheet at the top:

Year ________ Product Name ________________

So I go in and want to fill out the lines and as soon as I type in the date,
it erases the Product Name.

Thank you for any help anyone can give me.
