Freezing multiple rows
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much. I've used Excel for more than 20 years and I'm pretty sure this method is new - or, at least, newish. But it's great to find out there really is a way. Thank you for pointing the way.
Unfreeze the rows/columns. Then if you want to freeze more than the top and more than the first column, go to the cell below the row you want to freeze and after the column you want to freeze and the select Freezes panes.
Tanya Denton That response works fine if you want to freeze rows and columns. But I can't find any way to freeze a specific row, no columns. I use data sheets with headings on the second row and I need them visible when I scroll down. Used to be so easy in old Office. Please help me as this is crucial in my work. thanks!
Just select cell A3 and select Window, Freeze Panes. Then, row 1 and 2 will be frozen but no columns. Has been like that for many years.
- Many thanks! It worked for me!
- Honestly this should be the top answer. Simple, easy, and strait forward.
The following works for me.
1. Unfreeze Panes (View ribbon).
2. Select the entire row BELOW the last row you want frozen.
3. Freeze Panes (NOT Freeze Top Row).
done.
that doesn't work in y 365. Riny_van_Eekelen
dennisdugan Not sure why it doesn't work for you. Has worked like that for decades. Also on MS365.
Note: Screenshots taken on a Mac, but it's similar on a PC.
