Halfway down a spreadsheet, the numbers are still visible but the column labels have disappeared. Was that column ordered quantity or delivered quantity? Keeping the header in view can make a long table easier to read without repeatedly scrolling to the top.
Try the feature on a small practice sheet
Create a simple table with three columns: item, ordered and delivered. Add enough invented rows to scroll below the headings. Keep the exercise separate from any important shared document while you learn the controls.
In Google Sheets on a computer, Google’s instructions for freezing rows and columns describe using the View menu, then Freeze, and selecting the number of rows or columns. For a single header in row one, choose one row. Menu wording may follow your interface language.
Scroll and check what stayed put
Move down the table. The first row should remain visible while the rows beneath it scroll. Read a value by following its column back to the heading, then identify the item at the start of that row. Freezing the first column may also help with a wide table, but add that only if you need it.
This changes the scrolling view; it does not sort the records or turn an ambiguous heading into a clear one. If “amount” could mean several things, improve the label in a document you are authorised to edit rather than expecting a viewing feature to resolve the wording.
Learn the return path before finishing
Use View, Freeze, and No rows to remove the frozen row. Practise switching between the two views once so the feature does not feel like an irreversible change. Check that the original cell values remain where you entered them.
This makes a useful task for our short online learning routine: begin with a reading problem, perform one action, and demonstrate its result. You have learned the feature when you can explain which row remains visible and restore the previous view without following the tutorial line by line.
