I have a spreadsheet with Excel that has tons of columns. It goes waaaay right. How can I make the first column stick or permanent when I scroll right so that I can always view that column? Thanks

Actually you want to select the column next to the one you want to freeze. Same for rows, select the row under the one you want to freeze.

To freeze col A, select B then freeze.
