Freeze header pane in excel while Importing

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to free header pane in excel, while am exporting it from Salesforce.

There is a method in Java

sheet1.createFreezepane(0,1);

Is there anything using javascript or something else in Apex class or page so that we can freeze the header in excel.

Hi Sonam, 

thanks for the reply, but I have tried this on, not working, as salesforce made changes in the EXCEL file by itself. can't find exact place to modify my Excel on page.

Regards,
Abhi

This is how it is done.


Hi, This is the code which has freeze panes. I found out a way to do that. Headers will be fixed when the visualforce page is downloaded as excel.

My next requirement is to have conditional coloring.?? Any idea on how to do that?
