Freeze Two or More Rows in Excel

To start freezing your multiple rows, first, launch your spreadsheet with Microsoft Excel.

In your spreadsheet, select the row below the rows that you want to freeze. For example, if you want to freeze the first three rows, select the fourth row.

From Excel’s ribbon at the top, select the “View” tab.

On the “View” tab, in the “Window” section, choose Freeze Panes > Freeze Panes.

The rows above your selected row are now frozen, and you can see that for yourself. These frozen rows will always be visible, whether you scroll up or down in your spreadsheet.

To unfreeze your rows, then in Excel’s “View” tab, select Freeze Panes > Unfreeze Panes.

And that’s how you make your specific rows always visible in your spreadsheets. Very handy Excel feature !
