Populating Numbered List from a Module with 4 or more dimensions:

Use Case: I am trying to create a Numbered List from a module with 4 dimensions typically SKU, Tier, Product and Level  & few Line items. For modules dimensioned by 3 lists it is straightforward to create a View as the source of the Import with the 3 lists as Column items and the Line Items as Row items. Unfortunately this does not extend to 4 lists as you can't have 4 lists as Column items in the view pivot.

 

Source Module:
