Hi @rpavlicek,

Workaround to get the left headers frozen in table component in the attached post. Unsure if you can use the table component for your usecase though?

> Yes it is possible it doesn't work immediately because you need the inset properties and you need it to attach to the correct parent. Here is how you do it: Set position: sticky; Set atleast one of the inset properties: i.e (left:0; since we want it on the left) Ensure it attaches to correct ancestor by checking there are no hidden scrolling areas between the ancestor of choice and the sticky component (See attached [https://polypane.app/blog/getting-stuck-all-the-ways-position-sticky-can-fail…](https://polypane.app/blog/getting-stuck-all-the-ways-position-sticky-can-fail/)
