I am using Tableau for data visualization and generating lists that can be exported to Excel.
However, when the amount of columns get too big, I cannot see all my columns in the view (They are there though). The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a horizontal scrollbar. I can scroll vertically through my rows, but I haven't found a way to do this horizontally to look through my columns, the same way you would do at the data source tab.
If anyone could help me to figure out how to achieve this that would be awesome! I am using Tableau Desktop version 2018.3 on a Mac.
Edit: The problem also seems to be on Windows and is not related to the maximum amount of columns or the view mode.

You are not getting scrollbar because you are viewing it on a worksheet. Try putting it on the dashboard and set dashboard size to fixed and increase width to accommodate all columns.
now you will get horizontal scrollbar for sure
thanks
Besides updating the horizontal row/column label limit #Bernardo mentioned here:
You'll need to make sure you've have selected "Standard" from the display option list at the top of the screen. That options prevent Tableau from fitting everything into the height, width or view of your current display.
Tableau shows a horizontal scroll bar for measures, but not for dimensions. When only dimensions are included on either the Columns or Rows shelf, the lower horizontal scroll bar will not display. Dimensions are treated as headers for measure aggregations and do not generate a horizontal scroll bar when they exceed the width of the view.
To change the Table Layout and increase the number of columns and rows in your table, go to:
Analysis > Table Layout > Advanced
Set each of the Maximum values to 16, which is the limit allowed.

how to fit the birt report table not properly fit into pdf size because it showing only few data
On Format
You are using the web viewer in your example. If you want a PDF, you need to press the arrow next to the viewer button and choose "View Report as PDF".
On Size
Most elements have a Properties tab that lets you select width and height relative to the parent element. If you set this to 100%, it will use the full width/height of the parent. However, if single elements have a minimum absolute width - like having lots of columns - the 100% may be forced to be ignored. Then you have to change the single elements first.
On Orientation
You might have a fixed set of columns, but it still does not fit the report result. Changing the orientation to landscape can help here - this is especially useful for wide tables. Orientation can be changed in the Master Page tab under Properties -> General -> Orientation.
I'm using BIRT version 4_5_0. In html format report the result is displayed in A4 size only. I unable to resize the resultant. If I choose more columns then the columns width getting shrink. But I want that columns width would not get shrink if I add any number of columns and also width should be followed by what size I fixed in API. If we add more columns then horizontal scroll bar will be placed usually. But It's not an issue for me. Is any settings/API available to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Birt output format By default fixed Layout.
You can Change the layout fixed to auto.
automatically horizontal scroll bar will come. Your problem may will solve
ReportDesignHandle designHandle = session.createDesign();
designHandle.setLayoutPreference(DesignChoiceConstants.REPORT_LAYOUT_PREFERENCE_AUTO_LAYOUT);
I want to avoid horizontal scroll in Vaadin grid and oblige column to be resized according to the screen. I tried grid.setExpandRatio() but I have no change.
Have you any idea please?
The Vaadin Grid component provides width control for each column. See API doc.
You can set expand ratio of each column that is added when additional free space is available beside the space that is required for each column. But this doesn't help in your case. The best way I found so far is to set a maximum width for a column that is suitable for shrinking.
jqGrid offers a bunch of fantastic features, but there is one feature missing that my customer keeps on complaining about (OK, he is never really satisfied with what he gets ) and that's proper vertical and horizontal scrolling. The grid I had to set up contains about 20 columns with some columns containing longer text so the grid won't even fit a 24″ screen. To properly layout the grid and the rest of the visual components (i.e. additional search and filter functions above the grid) I moved the grid to a scrolling div being about 95% of the screen width with a horizontal scrollbar to scroll the oversized grid, the problem with that workaround is that you won't see the vertical scrollbar of the grid itself, it only becomes visible if you first scroll to the right and that's not really comfortable.
Hope my explanation is comprehendible? If someone knows a good workaround, I would be eager to know it! Otherwise a "dual scrolling grid" would be a nice feature in 4.5
Thanks a lot!

jqGrid have many many options. It could be a problem with usage of jqGrid. The grid with many columns could be displayed in different ways.
One way is just to display full grid on the page and to use scrollbars of the browser windows. If you have simple page layout then the way could be really the best.
Another way could be to use shrinkToFit: false option. In the case you should specify the exact width values for columns in colModel. If you use shrinkToFit: false option you can set width option of jqGrid. In the case horizontal scrollbars will be placed in jqGrid.
In many cases the grid with many columns contains not always really interesting information for every user. So it can be helpful if you would provide columnCooser in the grid. Additionally you can save the users preferences in localStorage (see the answer and another one). It could improve user experience.
You don't wrote about the height of the grid, but the usage of height: "auto" produced typically good results.
New to SlickGrid here, and have a couple questions:
1) Is it possible to change the orientation of the column labels? I would like to display a grid without horizontal scrolling, and the data can easily fit if I limit the width of each column. However is I do that, I dont have enough space for my column labels. So I am wondering if - like in excel - I could change the orientation of the column labels (to say 45 degreees vs. horizontal)? If not, any other suggestion?
2) Is it possible to display D3.js type elements (shapes etc) inside cells? If not, are there options to display things such as color coded stop-lights type things?
As you might have guessed, I am building a dashboard that pulls data from a summary table in a DB, and need visual eye candy. It's probably all doable in D3.js, but I'm looking for a faster way to implement, and a data grid appears appropriate.
