Tableau cuts off fields in table

In Tableau, I have a table with 8 Dimensions in the Rows Shelf. I also have a Calculated Field Dimension called "Blank" which only contains whitespace (" ") as a placeholder. However, as shown in the image below, this table is only displaying Fields 3-8 despite Fields 1-8 being included in the Rows Shelf. How can I fix this? I have edited the photo to redact sensitive information, yet included field names so it conveys the necessary information.

For the sake of others that may stumble upon this question.

The reason the columns are not shown is due a Tableau setting that is defaulting the maximum number of visible "row labels" to 6. This setting can be changed easily.

Problem - Column labels hidden and labels concatenated:

Solution - Update the table layout settings:

At the top, click on Analysis > Table Layout > Advanced

enter image description here

Increase Maximum levels of row labels and Maximum levels of horizontal row labels to at least the number of dimensions in the Rows section.

Result - All column labels displayed:
