How to formate the top X rows independly as a sheet header from the lower rows

I see various templates which show a header section at the top of the sheet which in formatted independently from the lower rows.  I would like to have a few cells in the "header" not tied to the formatting of the rows below.  How is this done

    Not sure what you mean, but perhaps you are looking for the "Format as Table" functionality?

      For example, when I open Excel, I can choose a template.  Several templates show a sheet header, with the rows and columns below.  The first template I see is one for Sales Invoice Tracker.  It has a section at the top which is formatted separately from the regular rows and columns below.  See image below.  I want this feature, where I can place cells independently from the formatting in the main row/column section.

        You can (manually) format cells in any way you like using the tools on the start tab of the ribbon. I think that is precisely what was used to get the layout and appearance in that screen-shot.
