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.

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.
I want to be able to delete or add rows in Section A without moving Section B without protecting the sheet.
Is there a way to sort of 'freeze' all those columns so they won't move? so if the user just wants more columns they can just right click on a entire row to add, or delete
Help is appreciated!
Delete
Select exactly what you want to delete. Press Ctrl + - (Control and Minus Sign) or choose Delete... in a context menu. Choose Shift cells up in a pop-up menu.
Insert
Select the range to insert. Press Ctrl + + (Control and Plus Sign) or choose Insert... in a context menu. Choose Shift cells Down in a pop-up menu.

move when the user wants more rows to add?
In general - no. But if you manage to convert the left side (A in your picture) into an Excel Table aka Excel List then you can operate with rows and columns inside of it.
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:
http://tabulator.info/docs/4.7/format#format-builtin
"Row Handle
The handle formatter fills the cell with hamburger bars, to be used as a row handle
{title:"Example", field:"example", formatter:"handle"}"
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.
I have a set of data that consists of a product SKU, and then the sizes as multiple columns. I need to transpose this data to list the sizes in one column (which I can do) but, each size needs to list the SKU as well which is something I can't seem to achieve with transpose. See images for an example.
Follow these steps...
1
Click on a cell to the right of your data.
On the keyboard press Alt and then while holding Alt down, press D and let go.
Now press P on the keyboard.
The ancient PivotTable Wizard should now be displayed.
2
Select Multiple Consolidation Ranges. Click on the Next button.
3
Select I will create the page fields. Click on the Next button.
4
For the Range field at the top of the dialog, select the range A1:J6. (This is your sample data.) Click on the FINISH button.
5
You will now see a PivotTable. You are going to double-click one particular cell... and this will create a new worksheet with your data transposed and normalized. That cell is the bottom-right cell of the PivotTable (at the intersection of Grand Total and Grand Total). Double-click it.
6
On the new sheet that is now displayed, delete column B and click on the little arrow in cell B1. Uncheck (Blanks) and click OK.
That's it. It seems like a lot, but it's not. It takes just a couple of seconds once you get used to it. And you can go ahead and delete the PivotTable now. And you can copy your normalized data out of the filtered rows and paste wherever you like... and then just delete that temporary sheet.
