Excel freeze panes

Hi
I'm using ActiveX to create an excel spreadsheet and fill it with data. Is it possible to use the excel freeze panes command from Labview and if so how ? I want to keep the column/row headings in sight so I was hoping to use freeze panes which I could setup straight after the wroksheet is created. Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
Dave

Dear Eli,
You are posting a followup to discussions almost a decade old! Consider starting a New Message and asking your own questions. Among other changes since LabVIEW 7 is the Report Generation Toolkit has been vastly improved (it now uses Report Objects, very cool), making it possible to do a lot of things with Excel Workbooks without ever needing to use ActiveX (and it is pretty fast, as well).

Excel freeze panes on WEB APPLICATIONS

Hi Experts,
Does anybody know how to implement something like the "excel freeze panes functionality" (freeze columns headers on top of the pages) for web applications?
We are using BW 7.0 (SAP Netweaver 2004s BI).
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Raphael

Hi Raphael,
Did you check the Analysis Item Properties, you should be able to define how many Data Columns to be displayed, I dont have my system now but i think you can set a Web Property for this, or you can simply write javascript function for this
thanks,

Hi,
Sorry to inform you that these new features are specific to cloud Excel Web App in both SkyDrive and Office365. There is no update available for on-premise Excel Web Apps installed locally
yet. Thank you for your understanding.

What is the numbers equivalent of excel "freeze pane"?

I work with detailed spreadsheets where it is most helpful to keep a few rows at the top and a few columns to the left stationary while I scroll through the rest of the data. Can you tell me what the Numbers equivalent of that is?

Thanks. I'm new to Mac (20 years of IBM thinkpads) so I definitely appreciate the help. Could you tell me how to provide feedback to Apple in the best way to get their attention? Thanks again.

Freeze Panes Functionality

I am required to develop a report that has a large number of columns. For readability the first 3 columns must remain frozen during horizontal scrolling (much like excel freeze panes).
So far I have achieved this with two regions with different column sets from the same report displayed next to each other, This way I can make the right hand report region scroll (<div> tags in the Header & Footer of this region)while leaving the left hand report static.
This leaves me with a problem where I need to link the pagination of both report regions. I am trying to change the SQL on the right hand report to only return the records displayed in the right hand region, my SQL for the right region Looks something like this but does not work:
Select * from TABLE_NAME WHERE ID IN (:P3_LEFT_REGION)
I believe it is because I am trying to reference a region as a list which I cannot do or am doing wrong.
So my question is "Is there a better way to do this and how?"

wow, it would cost your company so much less if your users can just download into Excel and do the fancy stuff there.
Next they are going to ask you for more Excel-like functionality.

Can pp col headings act like freeze pane in excel

Hi. We run 2012 enterprise. Can co headings on my pivot table scroll as freeze pane does in regular excel? How?

Hi, your Situation is as follow?:
You have a powerpivot model, and a pivot-table based on this PP data, created with Excel 2013
Now you want the Pivot-table columns to freeze if you scroll down the Excel sheet?
IMHO you can't do this because Excel has no Feature to freeze Pivot-table column, but can freeze columns of Excel table objects
You can get PP data into a Excel table object by creating a DAX Query, see:

What's equivalent to "Freeze Panes" in Excel?

I've used Excel for years at work. Now I've not Numbers at home. I can't figure out how to "freeze panes" so, as I scroll down a page, the header row stays visible. Help?

While Freeze Panes does not exist, Jason over on www.numberstemplates.com
came up with this solution:
http://www.numberstemplates.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20
His demonstration consists of 3 tables. The third table is where the full spreadsheet exists. The second table is a "window" onto the third table. The first table is just two slider bars. As you slide the sliders, the second table adjusts what it is showing in the second table from the data in the third. This makes more sense once you try his example.
If you are just looking at data, his solution works very well. If you need the freeze panes so that you know what column to input the data into, well, keep hitting that "Provide Numbers Feedback" button. until it appears.

Can one SPLIT or FREEZE PANES like one can in Excel?

In Excel one can SPLIT PANES or FREEZE PANES.
Is it possible to do anything similar to this in Numbers 08?
Or in any previous version of Numbers?

Sheer,
No, we can not freeze or split panes. And, this is the first version of Numbers. Perhaps in a later version...
By the way, Pages does something very similar to Excel's Print Titles that you may find an acceptable substitute. See 'Using a Table Header Row or Column' in Numbers User Guide, page 69.

Freeze panes, like in Excel?

Can we have the freeze panes effect in Flex? I like my top
component staying at the same position in the page while I can
scroll the bottom part up and down. Thanks

Sure.
A Flex app consists of navigators, containers and display
components. Use two containers, and only enable scrolling in the
one you want.
I suggest you set vertical and horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
for all your containers, including Application. Turn them on where
you specifically want them. The default behavior,
scrollPolicy="auto" often works, but also becomes very confusing
when you have deeply nested containers, and scrollbars start
popping up all over the place.

Review comments completely hidden by freeze panes in VBA Excel

Hello
I have a worksheet with review comments attached to the cell during run time. I use these
review comments like tool tips to explain the user that the field is a mandatory field and it must be entered .
I also used the Freeze Panes feature to keep the left side columns say (4 columns) visible
as the worksheet is scrolled horizontally. However, the review comments are visible when it is not scrolled but they are hidden under the frozen pane when the worksheet is scrolled horizontally.
The review comment that overlaps the boundary is no longer visible when scrolled completely.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Please suggest
Thanks and Regards
Kamal
Kamal

Hello Zhang
Thanks very much for your response and suggestions
I have tried increasing the width of the column D but still the review comments are getting hidden under the frozen panes. Dragging of comment window is not possible as these review comments are attached to the cell at run time.
Trying the data validation technique will not be a better choice. The reason is i am validating all the fields present in all the rows at once in a single button click . Correct me if i am wrong...The reason is if the user doesn't enter the
value for this column for at least (say 10 rows) then it might fire the validation pop up ten times.This will make the user to clear the validation pop ups first and then enter the values for all the left rows. If i add review comments then it will just add
a red mark at the top right corner of the cell along with the review comments which will help the user to understand that it is a mandatory field.
So, Please suggest a solution regarding how to handle the case related to the review comments that overlaps the boundary is not longer visible when scrolled completely.
Thanks and Regards
Kamal

JTextArea with freeze pane functionality

Greetings. I am trying to implement a plain text viewer that has some sort of "freeze pane" functionality (like that found in MS Excel)
I took the approach of using 4 JTextArea and put them into a JScrollPane, its row header, column header and upper-left corner. All these text areas share the same document.
Everything works as expected. When I scroll the lower-right pane, the row and column headers scroll correspondingly. The problem I have is that the document in the lower-right pane now shows duplicate portion of the document that is already showing in the row and column headers.
Knowing that this should merely be a matter of shifting the Viewport on the document, I went through the documentation and java source, and just couldn't find a way to translate the view. SetViewPosition() works to a certain extent, but the scrollbars allow users to scroll back to the origin and reveal the duplicate data, which is undesirable.
Your help with find out a way to relocate the view to the desired location is much appreciated.
