Freeze pane rows and columns not working

Hi,

In sample file I have rows 1:8 which I want to keep visible and columns 1:4 also visible as I would like the menu buttons to stay on screen.

When I select E9 and freeze pane, rows 1:8 remain static but all columns continue to scroll.

All websites I've looked at suggest that if I select E9 and freeze pane then all rows above and columns to the left remain static but this is not true.

Am I doing something wrong with freeze pane? Or how do I get this working, I was thinking VBA might do it?

Thanks
