Freeze panes

Keep header labels visible while you scroll. Try freezing the top row, the first column, or both, then copy the matching shortcut for Excel or Google Sheets.

When to use which option

Freeze top row

Best for wide tables where column headers disappear as you scroll down.

Freeze first column

Best for row labels (names, SKUs, dates) that must stay visible while scrolling sideways.

FAQ

How do I freeze the top row in Excel?

Use View → Freeze Panes → Freeze Top Row, or the equivalent ribbon command on your platform.

Freeze panes vs split?

Freeze keeps rows/columns locked while scrolling. Split creates independently scrollable panes — usually not what you want for sticky headers.
