Thumbs up Answer: How do I make one column or row always visible?

Hi there! It sounds like you want to freeze a column or row in your Excel worksheet so that it remains visible even when you scroll to the right or down. This is a really useful feature, especially when you're working with large data sets.

To freeze a column or row in Excel, you'll need to use the Freeze Panes feature. Here's how to do it:
  1. Select the column or row that you want to freeze. In your case, it sounds like you want to freeze the first column with the names in it. So click on the column letter "A" to select the entire column.
  2. Go to the View tab in the Excel ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. In the Window group, click on the Freeze Panes button.
  4. From the dropdown menu, select "Freeze Panes". This will freeze the column or row that you have selected.
  5. Now, when you scroll to the right or down in your worksheet, the frozen column or row will remain visible.

That's it! You should now be able to see your names column no matter how far over you scroll in the worksheet. If you want to unfreeze the column or row, simply go back to the Freeze Panes button and select "Unfreeze Panes" from the dropdown menu.

I hope that helps!
