       LibreOffice 7.4 arrives in a few weeks – with support for 16,384 columns in spreadsheets! Thanks to Luboš Luňák at Collabora Office for implementing this feature in Calc. Learn more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.4#Calc

       (Of course, when you're working with such large amounts of data, you might want to consider using Base...)

       @libreoffice Maybe this is a stupid question, but why doesn't Calc have infinite columns? Not that I would need that, just out of curiosity.#askingforafriend 😂

       @tobtobxx Hmm, well, the amount of columns has to be stored in a number somewhere. And those have upper limits 😉 More here: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/limits

       @libreoffice Huh, fair enough. 2^14 is a weird limit, but whatever. The monster who is gonna create that many columns deserves to run out of them.

       @tobtobxx Well, that's for compatibility with other office suites. Maybe we can make it even bigger in future, but then a database is probably better 😉

       @libreoffice Well done. That's quite a few fields for that data set!

       @libreofficeThis is a horrible feature, but I support it! However, I hope I never get a spreadsheet with that many columns sent to me ;)

       @libreoffice In 1998 those of us who still used OS/2 or eComStation could have more than 18000 columns in Mesa 2 spreadsheets, so the world isn't always moving forward at a rapid pace... It's sad that many great features of proprietary software are lost as products are discontinued.

       @libreoffice خب وقتی برای این حجم از داده خودتان هم به استفاده از پایگاه داده توصیه می‌کنید، آیا بهتر نبود این وقت را صرف اضافه کردن امکانات مهم‌تر می‌کردید؟

       @libreofficeI was going to say Pandas. But yes. Base is amazing!!
