Latest Microsoft365 Excel will not freeze panes properly
Operations: Selected rows 1 & 2 Attempted to freeze panes Latest Microsoft365 Excel disregarded selection and froze panes beginning at row 12?! Googled issue & attempted suggested fixes: ...
If you have already performed updates and the problem persists,
the next thing I would ask is, does this only happen in this workbook/worksheet?
If it happens to all Excel workbooks, I recommend running a repair as well.
If that doesn't help either, try starting in safe mode and see if the problem persists there too.
If not, deactivate all AddIns first and see if everything works as it should again in normal start mode.
Have you recently added new software such as antivirus?
If none of this helps, I recommend inserting a file (without sensitive data) to be able to view the problem.
It's weird because it happened on the Windows 10 version at work AND on my MS Office365 version as well? I've found where it's a known glitch by Microsoft, which is why I say their programmers have fixed what was not broken. I'm just going to squish lines 3-12 and start at 13 - obviously some programmer thought that was funny and/or likes the #13 (i.e. MS-13?) but thank you for your help!!
