This quick tutorial guides on how to freeze panes in Excel using Python. It has the details to set the IDE for development, a list of steps defining the process, and a sample code showing how to freeze a cell in Excel using Python. You will learn different options to freeze panes in an Excel file and un-freeze existing panes if required.

Steps to Lock Panes in Excel using Python

1. Establish the development environment to use Aspose.Cells for Python via Java for freezing panes
2. Load the source Excel file into the workbook class object for freezing rows and columns
3. Access the target sheet from the loaded Excel file
4. Call the freezePanes() method with custom settings
5. Save the output with frozen rows and columns

These steps summarize how to fix column in Excel using Python. You may load the source Excel file, select the target sheet, and invoke the desired overloaded method of freezePanes(). Provide the cell reference where you want to freeze the panes and the number of visible rows and columns before the frozen cell.

Code to Freeze Column on Excel using Python

This sample code demonstrates the process to freeze multiple columns in Excel using Python. You may provide the cell name or row/column pair to identify the cell for freezing the panes. Note that if the reference cell is in the first row or column, it will freeze columns or rows respectively. Use the unFreezePanes() method in the Worksheet class to unfreeze cells.
