Today we are going to show you how to add borders in Excel. When you create a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with a large number of columns, it can be difficult to compare data from widely spaced columns because you must scroll to see the data, and you cannot see both columns at the same time.
For this reason, Excel allows you to make a fixed column. You can freeze a column in Excel to prevent it from moving. After freezing the column, it will be still visible on the screen as you scroll horizontally through the spreadsheet.
