Default Highlighting a cell in excel, how do I edit a pop-up window

I'm working in a worksheet where some of the cells provide a pop-up window
that contains information about that cell. It's not a comments window.

Sounds like Data Validation, menu DataValidation. There is the ability to
add an input message and an error message.

Most likely a Data Validation message.

Select one of these cells and DataValidation.

You will find the source of the message.

By any chance, might it be a Data Validation input message?

Try this:
Select the cell
From the Excel main menu:
<data<validation<input message tab

Does that help?
