<![CDATA[How can I fixate the view for the top-x rows? (like Excel - Freeze panes)]]>I have a file with headers, with 200+ rows of date under that.
How can I fixate the view, so row 1-10 are always visible, even if I scroll down to rownumber 200+?
(Like you can do with Freeze panes in Microsoft Excel)

In Excel it’s one step: Select the row, or cell, and activate Frees Panes. The work-around involves 5 steps, I didn’t mention the synchronize horizontal scrolling.
I would like to select a row, right-click and freeze above, or freeze under. (or insert a small narrow separator)

The big disadvantage is that big gray separator. It’s not nice, and it’s sometimes hard to see where a header is pointing to.

  • Clone the view
  • Right-click the separator and click rotate right
  • Move the separator up (or down) until the upper view only shows the headers
  • You can scroll in the lower view, still seeing the header in de top view

Disadvantage: A big gray separator between the header and the data.
