When NodeXL calculates degree, it looks at every vertex and edge in the graph. It doesn't do the calculations on a per-group basis.
You could export a group to a new workbook and have NodeXL calculate degree in the new workbook. That could be pretty tedious is you have a lot of groups, but here are the steps anyway:
You could export a group to a new workbook and have NodeXL calculate degree in the new workbook. That could be pretty tedious is you have a lot of groups, but here are the steps anyway:
-
Select the group you are interested in. One way to do that is to select a row on the Groups worksheet, which will select all the vertices and edges in that group.
-
Use NodeXL, Data, Export, Export Selection to New NodeXL Workbook.
-
In the new workbook, use NodeXL, Analysis, Graph Metrics to calculate degree for the vertices in the exported group.
