01Step 1: Open your Google Sheets document

  • To freeze rows in Google Sheets, start by opening your Google Sheets document.
  • If you don't have one yet, you can create a new document by going to Google Drive and clicking on the '+ New' button, then selecting Google Sheets.
  • Alternatively, you can open an existing spreadsheet by navigating to Google Drive, locating the document, and double-clicking on it.

02Step 2: Select the row(s) you want to freeze

  • Once you have your document open, scroll to the row(s) that you want to freeze.
  • Click on the row number(s) to select them.
  • If you want to freeze multiple rows, hold down the 'Shift' key while selecting the additional rows.

03Step 3: Freeze the selected row(s)

  • With the row(s) selected, go to the 'View' menu at the top of the screen.
  • Click on 'Freeze' and then select '1 row' or '2 rows' depending on how many rows you want to freeze.
  • Google Sheets will then freeze the selected row(s) and keep them fixed in place as you scroll through the rest of the sheet.

04Step 4: Adjust the frozen rows

  • If you need to adjust the frozen rows later on, you can do so by going back to the 'View' menu and selecting 'Unfreeze' or 'No rows'.
  • This will remove the frozen rows and allow the sheet to return to its normal scrollable state.
  • You can always repeat the freezing process to reapply it if needed.
