Is it possible to freeze multiple rows?

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.

How do I freeze a select row header?

How do I freeze a select row? In my case I want row 5 to be the header that I see when scrolling down except there is only options for row 1. How do I get around this?
Top row and first columns are not what I desire.

Select the row below the one you want to freeze. Then in the Freeze Panes selection instead of choosing Top Row or First Column choose Freeze Panes. So in your example select the entire row 6 and then select Freeze Panes.

How to freeze a worksheet in multiple ways in excel 2016?

I am looking to freeze the panes in an excel worksheet so that :
the top 10 rows and the left most 4 columns are frozen, i.e. only the bottom right portion of the worksheet moves.
I have tried using the split function but i don't want the data to be duplicated on the screen if someone moves right to the top or the left.
Unfreeze Panes if they are frozen
Select E11 (11th row and 5th column)
Freeze Panes!

Excel: Freezing simultaneously a column and a row

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.

Adding same drop-down value to multiple cells simultaneously

I was wondering how to add the same drop-down value (e.g. Yes or No) to multiple cells in the column at the same time? I tried selecting individual cells that I need to fill with the same value using Ctrl, and then selecting the value from the drop-down menu, but it only fills the single highlighted cell.
Is there a quick way to select cells and then add the same drop-down value simultaneously to all of them?
I'm using Excel 2013.
Thank you!
Place the drop-down in the top cell. Then select the block of cells (including the top cell) with either the ARROW keys or the mouse and touch Ctrl + d
i also found no answers for this online so came up with my own solution.
It is using macros but only a basic knowledge of how to record is needed so its very easy.
Once your drop down lists are set up, you would start with Sheet 1 and simply record a macro where you are copying the value you selected in sheet 1 and then pasting into sheet 2. then assign this macro to a button on sheet 1. every time you click the button, it will copy and paste the selected value in your sheet 1 drop down into sheet 2.
you would then do the same thing in sheet 2, except that you are copying the value into sheet 1.
you can do this for any number of sheets.
hth.
I tried it as follows and it worked:
Select a cell and select the value for it (yes or no for example). Then select the group of cells you wan to have that same value - include the original cells with the value (yes or no)as the top cell in the range. Hit ctrl and D and all the cells will fill with the value in the top cell.
I accomplished this task in Excel 2013 by doing the following:
Select the cell with the drop down response
Scroll down to the last cell in the row that you want to have the same answer
Press the shift key
Select the last cell in the row that you want to have the same response
Release shift key and scroll back up to the first cell that you highlighted
Select your response in that cell
Hit Ctrl+D (to duplicate response).
I'll try and explain a little more clearly for you.
Select, with your mouse, the top most cell in the column you want to make all YES, scroll down if you need to and then, before clicking anything hold the SHIFT (not CTRL) key while you click the bottom cell in the row you wish to update.
This should highlight all of the cells in the column from the first, to the last you clicked. Now, release the SHIFT key and select YES (or no) in the top cell. The top cell (only) will change to YES (or No if you selected that). Now, without clicking doing anything else, hold down CTRL and while holding it press D.
If done correctly, all of the highlighted cells will now match the top cell.
