Freeze panes

can i sort columns and tables while the freeze panes are on or do i need to remove them? also when i search on a spreadsheet for a name with a freeze pane in place it doesn't search from the top of the spreadsheet, why is that?

RE: freeze panes

1) Yes your sort feature will work fine when your freeze is on.

2) can you please tell me how you are searching for a name? do you mean by just scrolling or do you use another search tool?

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
