Is there a way to hover over a cell and make it tell you what the title of the column or row is?

I'm currently working with long lists that have similar content, and it is sort of a pain to scroll back up to the top to see what each list is. I was wondering if there was a way to use maybe alt text to hover over a cell in a column and see what the data is suppose to be.

I don't really know comment boxes that well, and I don't really think that would be the best use of them. Plus I have to explain all of this to other people (who are admittedly less computer literate than me), so if it's something that will work automatically without knowing tricks, that would be best.
