Hello,  I am trying to add negative keywords. But Google is not letting me add some negative keywords because it is telling me "you cannot target keywords that are excluded"? However I just want to add as an negative keyword? Thank you so much for your help!

Check to see if those terms are in your keyword list.

Maybe it's just a wrong message. (As everything else in the new BS interface) It should be 'You can't add a negative when you have it as a positive. ' Check your keywords. You have them in the same match type.
