You’ll notice that the first column stays in a fixed position.Now, scroll right across the columns of data in your spreadsheet.From the list of options that appears, click Freeze First Column.The same concept can be applied to freeze the first column in your Excel spreadsheet.
HOW DO I FREEZE FRAME IN EXCEL HOW TO
If you want to freeze multiple columns of data in your spreadsheet, follow the instructions under How to Freeze Panes in Excel, below. Note that Excel delineates the frozen row by including a solid line on the bottom border of the row. This means that whether you are viewing row 10 or row 1,000 in your spreadsheet, you’ll still be able to see the column headers associated with your data. You’ll notice that the top row stays in a fixed position. Now, scroll down the rows of data in your spreadsheet.
Looking at Employee Attendance spreadsheet again, let’s say we wanted to keep both the header with the weekdays (row five) and the column with the months (column B) on screen at the same time. You can also freeze rows and columns at the same time. You’ve seen how to freeze a group of rows or a group of columns. Now, our column showing the months stays on screen as we scroll right.Īnd remember, when you have frozen rows or columns and need to return to a normal view, just go to View > Freeze Panes > Unfreeze Panes. Here, we’re selecting Row C because we want Row B to stay on screen.Īnd then head to View > Freeze Panes > Freeze Panes. To freeze a pane of columns instead, just select the whole row to the right of the right most row you want to freeze. Note that a thick gray line will always show you where the freeze point is. Now, as you scroll down the sheet, rows one through five are frozen. Next, switch to the “View” tab, click the “Freeze Panes” dropdown menu, and then click “Freeze Panes.” To select the row, just click the number to the left of the row.
In our example, we want row five to stay on screen, so we’re selecting row six. Obviously, freezing just the top row won’t work this time, so we’ll need to freeze a group of rows at the top.įirst, select the entire row below the bottom most row that you want to stay on screen. Notice that there are a bunch of rows at the top before the actual header we might want to freeze-the row with the days of the week listed. This one is the Employee Attendance template included with Excel, if you want to load it up. As an example, take a look at the spreadsheet below. In this case, you’ll need to freeze a group of rows or columns. Sometimes, the information you need to freeze on screen isn’t in the top row or first column. In our example, it lets us keep the inventory ID column visible while we scroll through the other columns of data.Īnd again, to unfreeze the column, just head to View > Freeze Panes > Unfreeze Panes. Now, as you scroll to the right, that first column stays on screen. To do that, switch to the “View” tab, click the “Freeze Panes” dropdown menu, and then click “Freeze First Column.” Sometimes, the leftmost column contains the information you’ll want to keep on screen as you scroll to the right on your sheet. On the “View” tab, hit the “Freeze Panes” dropdown again, and this time select “Unfreeze Panes.” To reverse that, you just have to unfreeze the panes. Now, when you scroll down the sheet, that top row stays in view.
