If you wanted to do this programmatically, check out the Worksheet.ScrollArea property.

Chandoo,

Recently visited your site for the first time. Completely bowled over by the content.

Have been browsing through your entire archive. Incredibly useful collection of tips. Have already shared the Speedometer Charts and Thermometer Charts with people in my team.

Once again, superb stuff and thanks for the effort in putting all this together.

Cheers,
Sumit

@Frederick: that is a nice idea as well. Hiding rows…

@The.Q: You are welcome. I use this all the time when I share sheet with someone.

What a simple, useful trick! I’ve often used Freeze Panes, but only to freeze headings, Etc., on a long (or wide) spreadsheet, but that’s a simple but effective way of making sure users only see what you want, and nothing else.

Hi,

Actually, if your dashboard area is already defined properly, the better way might be to simple hide all the rows after row 41 and the same for columns as well.

Regards,
Frederick
