How to freeze a row in Excel – or a Column
One remedy when your spreadsheets get unmanageable is to freeze rows and columns. Freezing Excel rows and columns makes navigating your spreadsheet much easier. When done successfully, the chosen panes are locked in place; this means those precise rows are always displayed, no matter how far you scroll down. You’ll usually freeze a few rows or columns, but Excel doesn’t restrict how many of you may freeze, which is helpful for bigger sheets.
