Hiding partial rows (but not full columns)

I suspect this is not possible but I figure I might as well ask.

Is it possible in Excel to hide part of a row (without hiding the full intersecting columns). Obviously there'd be a problem with the cell/axis labelling but I thought that maybe it could be done in a specific situation:

namely that the window is split, with frozen panes and that the rows were always paritally hidden along the first pane (but not the second (which would have a separate axis).

e.g. if the split was between column G & H then the row would be hidden from A to G (but not from H onwards) - and columns A-G wouldn't be completely hidden. Perhaps, for instance rows 4,5,7 and 13would be hidden in the left pane only.

This would only allow for a limited type of hiding but actually that is appropriate for what I am trying to do.
 
What you want obviously can't be done within a window, not even when the window is split. What you need is a duplicate sheet, and have a window for the orginal and another window for the duplicate, and arrange the windows to be side by side. Even that might not do exactly what you want.

Cheers, Glenn.
