Digest 2025 August
In August, we wrapped up several small but useful improvements. Here’s what’s new:
1. Explicit BASE Formulas
Formulas BASE and UBASE automatically determined which base to display: applied to rows showed the horizontal base, and applied to columns showed the vertical base.
Now you can explicitly set which base to show, regardless of orientation:
HBS('header label')→ Horizontal BaseUHB('header label')→ Unweighted Horizontal BaseVBS('header label')→ Vertical BaseUVB('header label')→ Unweighted Vertical Base
2. Filters in exported Excel
When exporting charts to Excel, filters are now presented in every column, making it much easier to work with data right away.
3. Bulk Drop-in for Crosstabs
When adding multiple variables whose combined categories exceed 1000, they’re now added in sequence: all categories of the first variable, then the second, and so on until the limit is reached.
Any categories exceeding the limit can be added separately. Manual addition does not enforce this limit
4. User Moderation Fix
Previously, if moderation was enabled, new users were placed in a ‘pending’ status. If moderation was disabled during this time, these users could become blocked. Now, disabling moderation automatically approves all pending users, as if moderation had never been enabled.
5. SPSS Import Warning
If an SPSS file contains a category with a code but no label, it can’t be displayed in DataTile. You’ll now get an in-app warning prompting you to add the missing label and reload the base.
