PC Help: Fix a row or column in place in Excel

Use the Freeze Panes option to avoid having to scroll back and forth

Scott Colvey, Computeract!ve 12 Jun 2008

If you work with a title row or column in a large worksheet in Excel and find that you keep needing to scroll back and forth to check the headings, then why not fix that row or column in place? In this way, when you scroll, the title row or column remains in place.

To do this for a title row, highlight the row above the first data row and choose Freeze Panes from the Window menu. The technique for freezing headings in a column is in essence the same – just highlight the column to the left of the first data row.

To freeze both rows and columns, select the appropriate cell before executing the Freeze Panes command. To turn this feature off, open the Window menu and choose Unfreeze Panes.
