Make sure cell
isn’t on row one – freeze_panes
will freeze rows above the given cell and columns to the left.
Example:
from openpyxl import Workbook
wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.active
c = ws['B2']
ws.freeze_panes = c
wb.save('test.xlsx')
This will give you a blank worksheet with both row 1 and column A frozen.
