    freeze a column, but scroll up?

    Hi -- I want to make an assignment tracker that can show if I'm ahead of schedule.

    So I have one column with the dates, and I know how to freeze it, but i want to be able have the other rows scroll up, not over.

    So if column A is date and column B is assignments, then I want to be able to keep A still, and move B up and down to show that the homework was due on monday, but since I finished it on saturday, I'm a few days ahead.

    Thanks in advance -- I'm trying to be waaay more organized.

    If freeze panes doesn't work then maybe Split would would.

    Question

    Hi -- I really appreciate the quick response -- I tried that, and it still forces the scrolling in the opposite axis from the info. I'm trying to make it act like an electronic slide rule (that was the closest I could come up with) so like

    http://tinyurl.com/33qbf7

    where one line is fixed, but you can slide along that same direction. So top row fixed, second row slides horizontally -- or left column fixed, right column slides vertically. I could probably make one that is paper, but I'm thinking there has to be a way to do it electronically.

    actually, like this: http://www.antiquark.com/sliderule/s...l-n909-es.html

    but with dates and assignments, not actual math.

    Sorry example didn't make sense to me. I need excel references as stated.

    If you want to freeze Col A and Row 1 then select B2 and freeze panes. If it's not this then I don't think I can help as Freeze Panes and Split are all you can do without maybe doing some fancy VBA.

    Ok, thanks -- the freezing/splitting doesn't do the trick -- I think I would have to do some serious tweaking (VBA?) that you suggested to get what I want. But I appreciate the help, in any case.
