Tableau cannot horizontally scroll in worksheets

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

However, when the amount of columns get 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.

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

Besides updating the horizontal row/column label limit @Bernardo mentioned here: enter image description here

You'll need to make sure you've have selected "Standard" from the display option list at the top of the screen. That options prevent Tableau from fitting everything into the height, width or view of your current display.

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