What is the maximum number of data columns allowed in a report?

The maximum number of data columns allowed in a report is indeed 30 columns. This limit is in place to ensure that reports remain manageable and comprehensible. Having too many columns can make reports difficult to read and interpret, diminishing their effectiveness for analysis or decision-making.

NetSuite established this maximum to strike a balance between providing enough data for detailed insights and maintaining clarity and usability for users generating and reviewing reports. Thus, while it may be tempting to include as much data as possible, adhering to this column limit promotes better practices in report design and structure.
