    Re: trying to freeze a particular row

    Freeze Panes can only be used to lock items to the left and/or top of the worksheet, not in the centre.

    If VBA is acceptable, you can create a 'modeless' userform and set it to the centre of the screen.

    Re: trying to freeze a particular row

    It's part of excel, but it's a little more advanced. To use you need to
    • Have a basic understanding of what VBA is, and how it works with Excel
    • Create a user form and populate it with your chosen data (whether static or dynamic)
    • Include logic to trigger the userform being shown (e.g. when opening a specific worksheet, opening the workbook etc), set it's mode to 'modeless' and place it in the centre of the screen

    Most of this can be found through googling, but either some youtube tutorials or this link might give some pointers

    The post is resolved. I did what was requested by googling and reading about it. I found out that it was much too dificult for my obvious lack of skill.

    Are you on a mobile device? That's the only time when it might not be visible if you are using the mobile version of the website. I will mark it as solved for you.
