Spreadsheet where categories at side don't move out of view?

[almann101]

In the left hand column of my budget spreadsheet I have the various
categories of income and expenditure listed with their relevant dates etc.
This is fine when I am on the same page as the left hand column however, once
I scroll across I lose sight of what each row corresponds to and they simply
become numbers.

How do I create a left hand margin or column which will scrioll along almost
like a picture frame around my work so I can always see what each cell
relates to more clearly?

Many thanks

Click on cell B1 and then go to Window (the menu) | Freeze Panes. Then,
Column A should always be visible.

If you click into B2 and then go to Window | Freeze Panes, then Column A and
Row 1 will stay on the screen.

Basically, any rows/columns above or to the left of the cell you click on
will remain on the screen.

You need to select the cell to the right and to the bottom of what you want
to see permanently, then go 'Windows' on the Toolbar and click 'Freeze
Panes'
