NodeXL Menu and Ribbon Toolbar
Clicking the NodeXL menu provides a ribbon toolbar to access many
NodeXL features, such as the following:
• Import —This button provides a drop-down, many with wizards to
assist in acquiring data from many different data sources (including
data that may be in other Excel spreadsheets).
• Prepare Data —This button provides functionality to automatically
summarize edges (that is, remove duplicate edges) and create nodes
from edges. This can be easier than creating PivotTables, as discussed
earlier in this chapter.
