Not Showing Gridlines
I think you are out of luck; if you need to freeze the first row, Excel will show the border. It is possible to use the ribbon as an alternative means of control, either with xml or by using an add-in such as
Otherwise you could always format the 'button bar' and pretend you actually wanted the feature!
If you mean the Freeze Panes feature, that line indicates which part of the sheet is "frozen".
I don't think Microsoft would be willing to implement your request. It would be very confusing for users not to be able to see which rows and/or columns have been frozen (if any).
You can submit your suggestion through File > Feedback > Send a Suggestion in Excel.
I'm not sure what to do with this but let me explain it and maybe you can either forward this to the correct person or let me know who to contact.
I received an email today asking me if I got the answer I needed. I replied that I did not, but was directed to the correct place to submit an enhancement request. I then received a message that my email reply was blocked for spam with a useless message on how to fix it. What is there to fix? It was one simple email reply. In the email was a link for "Was this helpful? Send feedback to Microsoft", so I attempted to use the link so I can send feedback, but now got message that the page I was looking for can't be found.
Can you let me know who I should report this too?
Thanks for all the help you give us in the Excel community! 🙂
jguymon that's better to publish here Community Lounge - Microsoft Tech Community or report to techcommunity@microsoft.com
- Perfect! That’s what I asked for in the first place, but was directed to the community instead of the answer. 😊
