Freezing a column

Hi there

I was wondering how i would freeze a column in Excel. I often have to do this for reports, you know when one column can't move but the others can move behind it?

Many thanks

Krystle

RE: Freezing a column

Hi David

Thank you for your response although it wasn't that explanatory! Are you saying that i cannot freeze a column because i know someone that has done if for me, i just need to know how to do it myself. Should i send you an example of a spreadsheet i have safed where a column has been frozen?

Many thanks

Krystle

RE: Freezing a column

Hello again

I managed to speak to my colleage in New York that normally does this for me.

To freeze a column you select the column after which you want to freeze. Eg: if you want to freeze column B then you will select column C. Then go to Windows > Freeze panes.

Excel tip:

Showing all menu items

If you go into a pull down menu you usally find that you get a selection of items(this is the default) or sometimes everything. If you only get a selectiopn you have to go to the double arrows at the bottom of the menu and click it to get all of the hidden items.
To turn this off so that you always get everything, go to Tools / Customize / Options Tab / "Always show full menus". Make sure there is a tick in the box and you will always have every item.
