Column limit exceeded

The total number of columns in the model is 24858 which exceeds the limit of 16000.

How to increase the limit?

Okay.

 

We have removed unnecessary columns and managed to go below the limit as of now.
Incase I happen to face such a situation, I'll divide the rows.

Thanks

You have a source system with 24,858 columns, is that correct?

 

You might think about pulling in half of the columns into one table and half into another table with a key between them?
