Bulk labels editing in crosstab

Updated over a week ago

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

  • choose what part will be trimmed - prefix or suffix. It depends on what part is common for all selected labels. DataTile highlights this part by default.

  • OR you can choose what part to trim manually

  • click OK

Note! Trimming in DeX doesn't affect labels in a codebook. If you want to edit labels in a codebook, you should use the trim function in Meta-Editor.
