How to Freeze Row and Column in Microsoft Excel

Many users working on larger Excel spreadsheets will frequently check the specific data again and again to compare. The data can be in a row or column depending on the type of spreadsheet. This can make the work a bit harder and time-consuming for the users. However, the freezing feature can be used to help in resolving this issue. The Freeze feature in excel allows users to freeze rows or columns in the spreadsheet. After freezing the row or column, it will be always visible after scrolling down.

This article will provide you methods through which you can easily freeze rows and columns in Excel. There are also some alternatives to freezing that we have included in this article.

Microsoft Excel provides the Freeze Panes feature to freeze the first row of the spreadsheet. You can also select multiple rows of the spreadsheet to freeze. However, freezing a specific row in the spreadsheet is something that cannot be done with this feature yet. We can also use the Split feature as a workaround for the specific row. Using the Split feature, we can kind of freeze or at least keep any specific row in a split spreadsheet while working.

If you are just freezing the top row, then use the Freeze Panes feature. However, if you want to see a custom row while scrolling a spreadsheet, then use the Split feature to get the same results.
