Handling long tables with 20+ column

I have 26 columns to display to be exact.

I can't separate the column into sub tables because my requirement is to allow the user to edit the information and view the result with clear view.

I want to know guys how do you handle this kind of problem? How should I display the data in a row if possbile in an elegant way?

IMO a subtable would be clearer than a very wide table. Even

Code: Select all

|       |           |  Flywheel/ |   Bare |  Repair and |           |           | Labor | Operating |
| Model | Groupings | Horsepower | Rental | Maintenance | Fuel      | Lube      |  Rate | Cost/mo.  |
+-------+-----------+------------+--------+-------------+-----------+-----------+-------+-----------+
|   N/A |    Others |        N/A | M    0 | Cost      0 | Base    0 | Base    0 |     0 |         0 |
|       |           |            | D    0 | Index   1.0 | Liter 1.0 | Liter 1.0 |       |           |
|       |           |            | H    0 | Total     0 | Total   0 | Total   0 |       |           |
At least try some different options and see what you can get.
