I am trying to do a list report with about 40 columns(Dims+measure) but not able to get it right, the requirement pushes the Tableau limitation by exploiting its limit to only 16 columns.

How can I get this done?

Go to Analysis-->Table Layout -->Advanced and change the number in Rows and Columns as per your need.

You can't add more than 16 to this, but increase it to 16 (for identification). So, save the Tableau file with extension .TWB. Then open this file in notepad.

Then search for the text: attr='row-levels'.

You will find something like:

<format attr='row-levels' value='16' />
          <format attr='row-horiz-levels' value='16' />

Change the value of 16 to desired column numbers. Save the notepad file. Open it in Tableau.
