Freezing Rows and Columns

You can view multiple areas of the grid by freezing rows or columns; doing so splits the grid into separate panes.  When you split the grid into separate panes, you are able to scroll though the grid in one pane while the frozen rows or columns remain visible at all times.  Freezing rows or columns are especially helpful when you have a lot of data that extends outside of the window's visible area.

1.Move the mouse pointer over on the left edge of the grid.  The cursor changes to a lock symbol with lines.

2.Click and drag the gray line to the right side of the column you want to freeze.  Release the mouse button when you have positioned the splitting line at the desired boundary.

3.A blue boundary line appears, which indicates that you have successfully locked the column(s).  You may then horizontally scroll through the grid while keeping the frozen column visible at all times.

4.To remove the frozen pane, simply click and drag the blue line back to the edge of the grid.
