Freezing a row in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets can organize your spreadsheet and make sorting through data a breeze. Here's how to do it.

You use Microsoft Excel 's built-in function to freeze specific rows and columns (often row or column headers), so when you’re scrolling through, these cells remain stationary on the page.

Using the Excel Text to Column feature, you can choose how to split the column up, fix the width, or split at each comma, period, or other characters.

A row-by-row formatting rule is as easy to apply as a column-by-column in Microsoft Excel, but you might not get the results you thought you would.

You can freeze a row in Excel through the "Freeze Panes" menu. This lets you scroll through a spreadsheet without that frozen data leaving the screen.
