Tableau cannot horizontally scroll in worksheets

Question

I am using Tableau for data visualization and generating lists that can be exported to Excel.

However, when the number of columns gets 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.

The problem also seems to be on Windows and is not related to the maximum amount of columns or the view mode.

Answer 1

• 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 the width to accommodate all columns. now you will get horizontal scrollbar for sure

That’s all for now. But, if you would like to learn more about Tableau, check this Tableau Desktop Certification course by Intellipaat.
