The trimming function allows you to shorten labels in a crosstab in bulk rather than edit each one manually.
Selected labels must have similar/matching words or characters to be trimmed in bulk.
To make trimming
Right-click on the labels and select the option 'Trim all labels'. If you want to trim only a few labels, pick them and select 'Trim labels of selected' from the menu
Select whether to trim the prefix or suffix, depending on which part is common across all targeted labels. DataTile automatically highlights this common part by default;
Alternatively, you can select what part to trim manually;
Click OK
Note! Trimming in crosstab affect labels only in a particular query. If you want to edit labels in a codebook, you should use the trim function in Meta-Editor.
