New Post: New to NodeXL . . . can't figure out quickly how to input groups

Hi all,

I'm trying to learn NodeXL on my own for some environmental research. I have what I thought would be an easy task for social network mapping, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to import my data into the software correctly.

Here's my challenge:
I have a pretty basic excel sheet with a list of a few hundred businesses as Column 1, and then environmentally-related Industry Groups (about 15 of them) of which they are members as the columns, with a Yes or No in each cell to record which ones are members of which industry groups. Each industry group has about a hundred members. I was hoping I could quickly turn this into a network map (showing which businesses are connected through their membership in the same industry groups).

I'm guessing the businesses are the vertices, and industry groups would be edges?

Is there a way to input this data into the NodeXL template to get what I'm looking for?

I will keep watching youtube videos in the meantime, but I haven't found the right one yet! Most seem to focus on inputing from email, facebook, and twitter.

Thanks if you can help!
