Truncated labels when using tab,sum

[Wayde Thomas Flowerday]

Good day everyone,

I am having trouble finding a way to solve this.

I am trying to use tabulate,summarize . The categories for tab have very long labels attached to them, and as a result they are getting truncated.

How would I go about not having them be truncated?

Example of code:
tab (industry), sum(sales)

Thanks in advance.

I would try something like this:

egen mean = mean(price), by(industry)
egen sd = sd(price), by(industry) 
egen tag = tag(industry) 
format mean sd %9.0f 
list industry mean  sd if tag, noobs

and use also options of list to control abbreviation.

Thanks, Nick. That should work like a dream.
