I am exporting a pandas DataFrame to Excel, and since it contains a lot of rows and columns, it would be useful to keep the top row and the first column when browsing its contents.
There is a feature present in Excel that allows for freezing the top row and the first column. Is accessible through XlsxWriter when exporting DataFrames to excel?
You can use worksheet.freeze_panes() to achieve this . There are many options for that method. Read http://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.io/worksheet.html#worksheet-freeze-panes to know how to use the method.
