You can use MS Access...

Access won't help you here. It is limited to 255 fields in a table.

I mean, excel doesn't allow that. It's a natural limitation.
OR you may "rotate" your dataset, in case you have less than ~200 rows :)

I have a dataset that contains more than 1500 column variables. Excel
only
allows me to go to column IV, which is far short of what I need. How can
I
expand the number of columns to fully capture all of my variables? Any
assistance will be greatly appreciated.
