Freezing rows or columns in Google Sheets is a great way to keep specific cells in place while scrolling through your sheet. Whether you want to freeze your column headings, the top row or any other specific part of your Google Sheet, it’s a useful technique to learn for making spreadsheets more easily accessible and manageable.

Here is how to freeze rows or columns in Google Sheets:

  1. Open your Google Sheet and select the row or column directly underneath or to the right of where you want the freeze to take effect.
  2. Click on the “View” menu and then select “Freeze”.
  3. In the drop-down menu, select “Up to current row” to freeze rows or “Up to current column” to freeze columns.
  4. The frozen portion of your sheet will appear darker, and you won’t be able to scroll past it, keeping the selected rows or columns in place regardless of how far down or to the right you scroll.

And that’s it! That’s how to freeze rows or columns in Google Sheets. It’s really easy to do and can make a big difference in how you manage your spreadsheets.
