News & updates from the Social Media Research Foundation - 2 - 2020

A new way to access NodeXL! The NodeXL Pro Cloud Edition is now available for Students, Academics and Commercial Users. Powered by Amazon Web Services AppStream, NodeXL Pro Cloud Edition offers reliable, accessible, and performant access to NodeXL.

This packages together a monthly NodeXL Pro license combined with the computer, Windows operating system, Office suite, and NodeXL preloaded and installed - ready to use from almost any connected device (Mac, Linux, Tablet, & more!) with a web browser.

NodeXL Pro Cloud Edition simplifies the process of deploying NodeXL to a wide variety of devices. Most browsers then display a fully configured desktop with NodeXL installed and ready to run.

Team NodeXL has updated the data recipes for multiple platforms: Twitter, YouTube, Wikipedia, Flickr. Download the latest recipe bundle from this page and learn about NodeXL Task Automation - the most powerful feature of NodeXL Pro.

You may already have noticed that NodeXL Pro runs much faster since the release of NodeXL Pro Version 1.0.1.439. Especially when working with larger datasets, the performance speed of NodeXL Pro has almost doubled.

Our development team has implemented code changes with the help of Excelguru Ken Puls. Ken is regarded as one of the world’s leading experts in Microsoft Excel, Power Query, and Power BI. Thank you very much, Ken!

We are getting much closer to the release of the NodeXL Pro integration with Microsoft Power BI in October 2020. Stay tuned!

Power BI is an application that builds on Excel data and SQL databases to deliver interactive data visualization and analysis to the desktop and the web.  The Microsoft Power BI Desktop application is free for all users.  The Power BI Pro web service does charge a modest monthly fee (USD $9) for additional features (many universities and large corporations may already have access to Power BI Pro - check with your IT support!).
