How to freeze the header row in an Excel spreadsheet exported from ASP.NET

Question

I\'m exporting an ASP.NET gridview to Excel using the following function. The formatting is working really well, except I need to freeze the header row in Excel on the expo

Answer 1

Modify the WorksheetOption element to something like the following:

     
     
     
     1
     1
     2
     
      
       3
      
      
       2
      
     
     False
     False
     False
    

Notice the FreezePanes element. I cut this out of a spreadsheet that I had saved as HTML with the first row frozen. When this file is opened with Excel, the first row is frozen.

EDIT: To have the header row print on each page, you will need something like this:

  Print_Area
  1
  =Sheet1!$A$2:$F$97
 
 
  Print_Titles
  1
  =Sheet1!$1:$1
 

You will need to modify the values in the formula dynamically for your data.
