Freezing Rows or Columns as Headers

If you have long rows or columns of data that extend beyond the viewable area of the sheet, you can freeze some rows or columns, which allows you to see the frozen columns or rows as you scroll through the rest of the data.

  1. Select the row below, or the column to the right of the row or column that you want to be in the frozen region. All rows above, or all columns to the left of the selection are frozen.

    To freeze both horizontally and vertically, select the cell that is below the row and to the right of the column that you want to freeze.

  2. Choose View - Freeze Cells - Freeze Rows and Columns.

    To deactivate, choose View - Freeze Cells - Freeze Rows and Columns again.
