New Post: NodeXL - add worksheets that do not contain the graph pane (or turning it off on specific worksheets)

Hello!

Happy to hear NodeXL may be a part of your solution!

NodeXL will automatically populate the vertices worksheet with any new vertices that appear in new edges in the edges worksheet. This happens automatically when you show or refresh the graph.

You can also tell NodeXL to do this on demand via NodeXL>Data>Prepare Data>Get Vertices from Edges Worksheet.

So, perhaps you should avoid doing this manually?

I imagine your data as a collection edges, some of which carry vertex attributes.

I would try expressing the data in a flat file with the format:

Vertex1, Vertex2, Relationship Type, Relationship Date, Relationship Magnitude, Vertex1 Attribute, Vertex2 Attribute.

You could then allow NodeXL to import the new rows via the NodeXL>Data>Import>From Open Workbook feature.

Note, by default, NodeXL will wipe clean the workbook before importing new data. To prevent this, change the settings in the NodeXL>Data>Import>Import Options>[Uncheck] Clear the NodeXL workbook before the data is imported.

I hope this addresses your questions!

Feel free to follow up if I missed anything or you have other issues.

Regards.
