As many as you want but the confusion and analysis will be difficult once you increase the number of dimensions..

Hi,

There is no limit, but when the columns increase performance will decrease.  What issue you are facing?

No actually i heard about there is only 125 dimentions are okay with QV-11 but when we increase then that the pivot table structure is distracting i mean not showing sub totals correctly as per the expected ...Top becomes left side showing when we cross 125 dimention selection ..

Is there any practical use of 100+ number of dimensions?

I have one with about 70 dimensions which is cumbersome, slow and difficult to maintain so I would think 125 would be worse

I have two assumptions on your pivot table;

1. You are using conditional show to not show all 125 dimension at one time.

2. You have been altering the column order by drag and drop.

These two in combination probably means that you no longer are in control of your actual column order. So the your expectation might not be in line with your current setup.

From experience of larger pivot tables, I doubt that you will be able to properly maintain or validate the table with +30 dimensions. With complex expressions you are likely to put great load on memory and CPU to process the object, and it also becomes a terrible end-user experience.

My suggestion: re-design your application to have several smaller pivot table or even graphical chart to allow users to properly explore the data and make their discoveries.

Hi,

Dimensions are not limited to a number, but Too much information will make a good analysis or presentation.

If you need lot of fields you can give it in form of a feed-out as a CSV file.
