Clicking on the “Freeze Panes” button, as shown above, will launch the Freeze Panes drop-down menu. Within this, click on “Freeze Top Row”, as shown below.

This will freeze the top row of the spreadsheet, as shown below.

If you want to, instead if clicking on the “Freeze Top Row” button, you can also use the Keyboard Shortcut. On your keyboard, press Alt, W, F, R, one after the other (not all at the same time).

Note that after you freeze the top row, Excel will put a subtle grey border below the top row, indicating that it is frozen. This is shown below.

How to Unfreeze the Top Row

Once you have frozen the top row, you can unfreeze it again by clicking on the “Freeze Panes” button again, and then clicking on “Unfreeze Panes”, as shown below.

How to Freeze Other Parts of your Spreadsheet

Once you have frozen the top row, you can unfreeze it again by clicking on the “Freeze Panes” button again, and then clicking on “Unfreeze Panes”, as shown below.

If you want to freeze other parts of your spreadsheet, including the bottom rows or the right columns, see the related tutorials, below.
