How to pin header in excel

Answer

To pin a header in Excel, use the Freeze Panes feature. This allows the top row or selected rows to remain visible while scrolling through data.

Steps to Pin the Header (Top Row)

1. Open your Excel worksheet.

2. Click on the View tab in the Ribbon.

3. Select Freeze Panes in the Window group.

4. Choose Freeze Top Row.

• The top row will remain visible as you scroll down the worksheet.

• Excel adds a faint line below the frozen row to indicate it is pinned.

Steps to Pin Multiple Rows (Custom Header)

1. Select the row immediately below the rows you want to pin.

2. Go to the View tab.

3. Click Freeze Panes.

4. Select Freeze Panes from the dropdown.

• All rows above the selected row will stay visible while scrolling.

• This is useful for tables with multiple header rows.

Pin Header on Mac

1. Open the worksheet.

2. Go to the Window menu.

3. Choose Freeze Panes.

4. Select either Freeze Top Row or Freeze Panes depending on whether you want the top row or multiple rows pinned.

To Unfreeze Panes

1. Go to the View tab (Windows) or Window menu (Mac).

2. Click Freeze Panes.

3. Select Unfreeze Panes.

• This restores normal scrolling.

• You can then freeze a different row or column if needed.

Tips

• Freezing works only for rows above the selected cell.

• You can freeze columns in a similar way by selecting the column to the right of the ones you want to pin and choosing Freeze Panes.

• Combine row and column freezing to keep both headers and key columns visible.

This method ensures headers remain visible, improving readability in large datasets.
