How to freeze an area in Excel? - excel

I want to freeze only certain cells in an area in an excel sheet to make that area act like a fixed menu. A screenshot is attached as an example. The highlighted area needs to be fixed when a user scrolls vertically.
Thanks for any advice.

Excel has a "Freeze panes" for this, in the "View" menu, "Window" item, as you can see from this screenshot:
You select the cell at the right bottom of the area you want to freeze and you do "freeze panes". There are some more possibilities you can find while clicking "Help" and searching for "freeze".
edit after edit of original question:
Oh. Seeing the edit, I think I believe what you want: you want the left columns to be fixed (you can't scroll down) while you want the other columns to be scrollable. This is not possible, because it would mean that the number of your row does not correspond with the row number of the cell you're in.

When the all cells are editable, unable to select row

Neither select-row work nor row-click works when the cell are editable. Anyway to get row selected?
If I click inbetween the cells then it works but it's not practicle click small space inbetween cells.
You really need to show an example of what you are trying to do. A JSFiddle would be helpful. Still if I'm following correctly what you want to add to your table layout is:

The handle formatter fills the cell with hamburger bars, to be used as a row handle
{title:"Example", field:"example", formatter:"handle"}"

excel show custom vlookup tooltip/popup/comment on over cell

Hope you could help, don't know if its possible.
I'm using Excel to create a layout with some ID's in that layout.
Since it's a layout, I can't just show all information needed as it's too much, so, I would like with a click in that cell or when mouse hover it shows a tooltip/comment with a custom vlookup that search that ID in another sheet. When the user click in a empty cell or takes mouse point to an empty cell the tooltip/comment disappear.
Already make some searches but couldn't find anything. Any suggestions in how to achieve this?
Thanks.

How to make column A reappear after resizing a table?

I clicked the resize button for a table on Excel from A3:O10 to B3:O10, and the column A permanently disappeared.
I tried resizing it to its initial address but doesn't work.
Check your "Freeze Panes" and "Split" settings. I've 'lost data' behind some silly visual representations with these.
You can see that my Column A appears to be Column C because I moved the wrong quadrant in a way I didn't actually want.
A simple solution to unhiding column "A" is to select all rows and columns (CTRL + A) and then right click on any column. After you right click then select "unhide" from the right click drop down.

Bug in Excel? Shows a blank region although cells are not empty

I have a page with some 300 rows, and they are all populated with formulas and values.
When I scroll downwards all is well but suddenly there is a blanc region. However, if I click some cell in that region, a small region appears with all its values. Then I click again and some more cells appear but I simply cannot see the whole page. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround? Thank you!
Select the range where you would like to delete the format. Than click the Home tab, in the Editing group (right on Microsoft Excel), click the arrow next to the Clear button, and click clear format.

How to use vertical headings in Excel tables

I am currently using Excel 2013. I wanted to use vertical headings in tables instead of horizontal ones. Horizontal headers take a lot of space but vertical ones don't.
I looked upon a number of web sites but not even one gave an intelligent answer. There were answers like inserting a section break or an image, etc.
I am a 9th grade student.
You can change the text direction by editting the "Format" of a cell or range of cells:
A table:
Right click on the header cells after selecting them and go to "Format Cells":
Go to the Alignment tab and change the alignment to 90 degrees:
Click OK and your text will be vertically aligned. You can align the cell text to the left using the button at the top to make it a bit prettier if you want:
Good luck on the class!
