How do I pin a column?

Pinning a column involves taking a column from a table and making it always present and visible on the left edge of the table. This can be helpful for keeping a key or identified data point continuously visible as the user scrolls horizontally through the table.

In Excel, you pin a column (or columns) by selecting the column heading you would like to pin, then right-clicking the heading. From the list of options, click “Freeze Panes”, which will have a sub-selection option for “Freeze…First Column”.

This will keep the column visible at all times on the left side as the user scrolls through the rest of the table.

It’s important to note that if you have multiple columns you would like to pin, you will need to select them in ascending order from left to right, and then select “Freeze…First Column”. If you have columns you do not wish to pin, select those columns to the right before choosing the “Freeze…First Column” option.

Additionally, it is also possible to pin multiple rows together at the same time. For this, you will select the row number directly above your desired pinning row, then choose the “Freeze…First Row” option from the Freeze Panes sub-selection.
