Is there a column limit on reports?

I had a user create a report with many columns (about 50). There were no filters on the report. They received this error when trying to run the report:

After removing several columns they were able to run the report successfully with the expected number of rows returned (~2500).

Is there a maximum number of columns that someone can add to a report?

Thank you!

Hello Mariah,

There is a cell limitation on how many cells the system will return. Likely that is what you were running into prior to trimming down the columns used in the report.

So what is the cell limit? - Mariah Rible Thu 12/5/24 9:01 AM
It has more to do with the max request size of setting all the columns in the report. In this case though, I asked internally and we believe this report is/was trying to return bad data. Commonly when we've seen this error it is when a custom attribute has been changed from a multi to a single select. Could that have been the case? - Mark Sayers Thu 12/5/24 9:49 AM
That could very well be the issue, I'll look into it. Thank you! - Mariah Rible Thu 12/5/24 2:19 PM
