How to freeze Rows & columns at the same time
Apparently, Freeze Panes is already active.
So first select Unfreeze Panes from the Freeze Panes dropdown.
Then select cell B4, and select Freeze Panes from the Freeze Panes dropdown.

Thanks Hans HansVogelaar
Your faultless advice worked perfectly.
Excel help is surprisingly unclear and suggests freezing column A first - which of course freezes that column and then you can't freeze rows.
But you've explained how to freeze Excel Rows & Columns at the same time 101% clearly & accurately.
So ... THANK YOU again.

- I had the same problem but I still can get only half of the solution to work. Clearly I am missing the point. Sometimes I get the top row to freeze but not the left most column to freeze. Or vice a versa. Help. I used to be able to freeze both with the beta version of excel years ago but as the product evolved I could no longer accomplish the task of getting both the top row and left column freeze at the same time. Help!
If the first item in the Freeze Panes drop down is Unfreeze Panes, select that.
Select the cell below the last row that you want to keep visible, and to the right of the last column that you want to keep visible.
So for example, if you want to freeze the first row and first column, select cell B2.
And if you want to freeze the first two rows and the first three columns, select cell D3.
Then select Freeze Panes > Freeze Panes.
