My Freeze Panes feature is not available
- Aug 17, 2019
If we speak about Excel Desktop for Windows, Freeze Panes is disabled if you are in Page Layout view
Perhaps some other reasons, but you need to give more details.

I am not in Page Layout, I've tried to use my Freeze Panes in View tab, they are greyed out. And when I go to Review tab and click on Protect Workbook (that shows a picture of a lock on it), I do not get a choice to unprotect it, I can only enter a password to protect it.

What if you are in normal view and the protect worksheet/workbook is unlocked and still the Freeze Pane Icon is grayed out? Office Professional Plus 2019 version.
Thanks for any help,
Fred
