How to Freeze Multiple Rows in Google Sheets (The Easy Way!)

In this article we will show you how to freeze multiple rows in google sheets. This allows you to keep rows visible while scrolling so you can easily understand a large data set.

We can freeze multiple rows by applying freeze up to the desired row. We can do this by using the menu method or by utilizing the drag to freeze feature in Google Sheets.

Click here to access our sample spreadsheet and follow along with the tutorial.

Example 1 - Using the Freeze Menu

Step 1: Select a Cell in the Row you Want to Freeze up to

In the dataset highlight any cell in the desired row. This is the row we will freeze up to which will freeze multiple rows at the same time. In this example we want to lock all rows up to row 7 so we will select a cell in this row.
