Freeze Panes first two rows and column with openpyxl

Question

Trying to freeze the first two rows and first column with openpyxl, however, whenever doing such Excel says that the file is corrupted and there is no freeze.

Current code:

workbook = openpyxl.load_workbook(path)
worksheet = workbook[first_sheet]
freeze_panes = Pane(xSplit=2000, ySplit=3000, state="frozen", activePane="bottomRight")
worksheet.sheet_view.pane = freeze_panes

Took a look at the documentation, however, there is little explanation on parametere setting.

Desired output:

Answer 1

To freeze the first two rows and first column, use the sample code below... ws.freeze_panes works. Note that, like you would do in excel, select the cell above and left of which you want to freeze. So, in your case, the cell should be B3. Hope this is what you are looking for.

import openpyxl
wb=openpyxl.load_workbook('Sample.xlsx')
ws=wb['Sheet1']
mycell = ws['B3']
ws.freeze_panes = mycell 
wb.save('Sample.xlsx')
