Thank you for not turning this into a lecture great vid.

[@borpheus4651]

I can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not😂

[@beroaiden9380]

I agree 😂

[@1UgLyU]

I can learn from you! You explained it perfectly and simple enough for me to grasp the info . Tysm!!

[@antoinettefeazel2252]

I had to watch your video several times to get the knack of the freeze pain feature. What you didn' t explain is that you cannot have a header (or title) above the columns you want to freeze. I must have done mine about 6x before I figured this out. Then it works like a charm. Still love your videos nonetheless. Great job.

[@Mick-qq1pi]

I totally agree, just read your comment and realised I had the same issue, applied it again without my headers and it worked thanks Antoinette. Still love your videos Kevin.

[@christopherstreet2214]

My split is doing something completely different

View/Freeze panes or freeze top row selection at 1:30 Thanks! your vids are the best,

[@YM-sc1gz]

Thank you...you did an awesome job explaining. the best I've seen

[@alrhon50]

Thanks that's been a big help. I knew I could do it, but had forgot how

[@meymk5669]

Your tutorials are really helpful man

[@bradleysnyder6540]

Thank you! The need for the Splits button wasn’t obvious to me. A few clicks after your video and I am setup properly. Thank you!

[@alzdsz]

Hey Kevin I wanted to know if you could let me know if there was a way to hide something in excel using the function but if the other person tries to unhide it it won't really show up is there a way that way. Cause my friend knew it but i couldn't find a solution to it ?

[@randomrandy3059]

Man, im coming from numbers on Mac, and Numbers is so user friendly it makes Excel feel very difficult to use. Now I know there are more functions and capabilities on excel which is why im crossing over. I like the challenge, and im thinking I need a Windows system as well as a Mac. So cool.
Thank you for the video. I didnt understand how the hell this was supposed to work.

[@askacatholiccom]

Thanks, Kevin -
I had watched a number video on how to freeze both the row and the column together and yours was the first one to provide something understandable and workable. Sadly, I still have Exell 2003 but plan to upgrade soon.

[@bjsalon]

Excellent work as usual. Thank you very much. This is such a very big help.

[@cochinito1]

Kevin, this tutorial was the quick solution I was looking for. But I don't see that option on share point. I've noticed certain functions are not displayed, but they work after I set them on the application.

[@scotttuck8957]

Appreciate you sharing this info. I was lost in space and too proud to ask anyone at work. Didn't want to be labeled a DA.

[@hopesmith8007]

Thank you. You explained it clearly.

[@tomburull2499]

Thanks, how do I make a program in column A & B were I start with zero in row 1B and then add or subtract values in column A to give me an TOTAL in column B of gains and losses?

[@joseramos1962]

Thanks Kevin ---- straight to the point

[@20LOL14]

Thank you!! I need a class 🤦🏽‍♀️ How do you do this so that the header (top row) will show up at the top of each printed page?

[@LeafsIn2024]

I really appreciated this.
Thank you, Kevin!

[@KhairiDarweesh]

Hi Kevin, I used some of Microsoft templates, and when I scroll down, the column headers are visible without freezing panes. How can you do that? For example, refer to the Grocery List template. You can see on that template and a lot of other MS templates that the headers replace with the A, B,C ...etc. while the example you showed here, you can still see the A, B,C ....etc.

[@samsonabraham9035]

Thank you Kelvin. Your videos are so impressing... Kudos to you.

[@KevinStratvert]

Thanks for the note Samson!

[@GreenOilBike]

Doesn't work for more than one row or Column - would have been good to have a tutorial on this. SN
(PS seems to be the split feature which works to do this)

[@lorenakademar5267]

Very useful video!! Thank you Kevin

[@Gtrjerry73]

[@samanthayoung1252]

Hi Kevin, are you able to explain how to freeze columns and rows, while keeping headers in your table? I tried splitting and it duplicates my table. I need to keep the headers because the table will be used by bith sighted user and visually impaired users using JAWS. Any help yiu could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@correspondingsecretary2554]

Perfect! Just what I needed

[@srazon]

Is there a way guys to split an excel file and showing my Z-AL columns on the top part of the screen, and at the bottom to see A-L columns. Whenever i try it both the colums on the top and bottom will move all together. these functions wont work for me.

[@sheilamcelhaney3511]

Great explanations. When I go to "freeze pane" it's greyed out and won't let me click on it. Any idea why?

[@gailsweet244]

I have Excel 365, but the Freeze Panes is sometimes grayed out. It's in the Window group in the View heading along with "New Window", "Arrange All", "split", etc.

[@a1pestservice]

I can't select my freeze panel, it's a dull grey which won't allow me to select it ?

[@sidzhottake]

[@AS-bx9pp]

[@panasiakl8230]

[@jezzabell1765]

Is there a way of freezing a pane at the bottom of the screen. Let’s say for totals to be displayed at bottom whilst scrolling through a sheet.

[@hyn2022]

Hi Kevin. Freezing. Rows and columns don’t work in 365. I can do it on my old system but not it new on why?

[@leahsmith2121]

What is the freeze panes button is greyed out? What would make this happen? I have a header maybe this could be the reason?

[@maraziziomar8997]

Tyvm Kevin, great help

[@MM-lq2dr]

Hello, how can I highlight freeze panes? I see it but I can’t access that feature it is all gray.

[@okwuosachristian9804]

Can you recommend a channel that can help me with data analysis

[@TonyBranken]

That's great. However, I would like to know how to do this in Page layout view. If I select Page layout after I have frozen my cells, it gives me a message that it will disable freeze panes. This is not good from Microsoft. Is there a way around this please?

[@nicolesakwe1973]

Super helpful. Thank you.

im running excell 365 V 16.5 ... I need to hide certain cells (so they maintain a value) all I can see on youtube are earlier versions of excel (old) lay outs which don't relate to my version and navigation and the format is different, I have been high lighting the cells on the speed sheet , in review i click protect, and put a pass word in but its failing in protecting both cells in different rows... Im pulling my hair out !
