Data Import:

Click on the “Browse” button to open your file explorer. Find a Meltwater Excel file of interest on your machine and click OK. Note that one data set may consist of several files with 20k rows each. You need to select all of these files at once.

During the data import NodeXL will then parse the tweets for connections between users and create a network data set. This step may take a few minutes.

Data Analysis:

Limitations:

Brandwatch data sets provide metadata about each user who is actively tweeting like the user’s self-description, the location and the profile image.  But the resulting network in NodeXL will contain users who are mentioned in tweets, but who are not tweeting themselves. The metadata from those users is not available. As a result the network map will contain a mix of images and colored disks.

Export to NodeXL Pro INSIGHTS:

You can also easily turn your network data set into a NodeXL Pro INSIGHTS Report via Excel > NodeXL Pro > Data > Export > to NodeXL Pro INSIGHTS…

NodeXL Pro INSIGHTS is a Microsoft Power BI report template that creates interactive and shareable network reports from NodeXL Pro data sets. A NodeXL Pro INSIGHTS report makes use of many different data visualizations – from simple tables to hashtag clouds, from image grids to scatter plots. Easily pivot around all social media dimensions: Tweets, users, groups, hashtags, media, sentiment, space and time.
