I would like to freeze multiple rows in the below work sheet so that when I scroll downwards I have the corresponding topics listed below the alphabetical header.
Is this possible and how can I achieve it?
You can freeze all rows and columns left and above a cell. In order to do that, just select that cell, type freeze in the help bar and you'll get the possibility.
E.g. if you select cell "D8" and you press "freeze", then the three most left columns and the first seven rows will be frozen.

In addition to a single cell, Excel allows you to select multiple unconnected cells independently by pressing ctrl when clicking the cells.
I use this feature to insert a row between each existing row, which is my ultimate goal. You can do this by independently selecting one cell in each row and then right-clicking and inserting rows.
This process works fine for tens of rows, but in some cases, I need to independently select 1000+ cells in a column to insert a row between each row in a large sheet. To be clear, I'm not talking about ranges. Instead of A1:A1000, I mean to select A1,A2,A3...A1000.
Is this possible without manually clicking each cell?
Insert a helper column with even numbers this way
type the value 2 into the first row
type the value 4 into the second row
select the two cells and double click the fill handle to fill down to the last row of your data or drag to the desired point.
Below your data, in the same column, enter odd numbers 1,3,5,etc, using a similar technique.
Next, sort your data by the new column.
Viola! Blank rows between all rows of data.
I have a spreadsheet with a filter on. I need to shift column values to the left. Please see below screenshot.
In below screenshot, I want to delete Name1 - Name5 and shift all the cells on the right to the left. I can't do this. Excel will not let me. It wants me to delete the entire row which I do not want to do.
I also do not want to use the = next column formula since there are 50+ columns in this spreadsheet. So I need some help and advice.
I have tried to highlight the first Home to Address5 and drag that to the left, then get error message
The command you chose cannot be performed with multiple selections. Select a single range and click the command again.
How do I freeze particular column in excel sheet ?
Example : I want to freeze column J for entire worksheet.
I have gone through many solutions but they only talks about column A. but I want to freeze other columns except Column A.
Try selecting J,1 then View->Freeze Panes->Freeze Panes
The Freeze Panes option always freezes the top left corner of a selected cell
In Excel 2016 I know how to freeze the first column or the first row through the menu View -> Freeze Panes.
But how can I simultaneously freeze both the first column and the first row?
When I apply one of them it removes the other one.
How can I freeze any column or row not the first ones?
#gravity, this is your suggestion:
I don't have that option.
If you select cell B2, and under "View," choose "Freeze Panes," the first column AND row will be frozen simultaneously.
Expanding upon this, if you choose the upper-left most, singular cell, that you do not want to be frozen, and choose freeze panes, all panes above and to the left of that single cell are frozen.
I'm working on a spreadsheet where values entered in two columns will often (but not always) be the same for the entire column. When dragging down the column with the fill handle, however, one column copies data and the other increments it and I don't understand why. The column that increments is also copying borders down the column, the other column isn't. Under the formatting window both columns have the exact same settings (other than background color, but I tried changing that and it had no impact), why is it behaving this way and is there any way to change the default behavior for each column?
Note: I've tried ctrl+dragging the columns, and the "Extract Volume" column copies values correctly, but still is copying borders while the "Dilution" column is just copying values.
Before dragging handle:
After dragging handle:
Enter 50 in the first two rows of Extract Volume and then drag it down that should work.
I have a feeling that the datatypes for both columns are different and that's why you're getting this error.
Another approach is, Enter 50 in the first row, Copy it, highlight the rows you wish to fill and paste.
