hi @Anonymous 

The maximum number of columns you can add in Power BI Report Builder depends on various factors, including the version of Power BI, the complexity of your report, and the available system resources. However, there isn’t a strict fixed limit on the number of columns.

Here are some considerations:

1. Column Width and Layout:

   • The width of your columns affects how many columns you can fit within the available space.
   • If your columns are wide, you’ll be able to fit fewer of them horizontally.

2. Page Size and Orientation:

   • The page size (e.g., A4, Letter) and orientation (portrait or landscape) impact the available horizontal space.
   • Larger page sizes or landscape orientation allow for more columns.

3. System Resources:

   • Your computer’s memory and processing power play a role.
   • If you’re working with a large number of columns, ensure that your system can handle it without performance issues.

4. Data Source and Complexity:

   • The complexity of your data model and the number of rows in your dataset affect the overall report size.
   • More data may require additional columns for visualizations.

5. Best Practices:

   • Consider using matrix visuals or tables to organize your data.
   • Avoid overcrowding your report with too many columns; prioritize relevant information.
