Gephi is dropping Edges when I import from CSV file.
While most edges import correctly, some nodes appear on the visualisation as unconnected to other nodes.
When I check the ID it is clear that these nodes should be connected to other nodes (they are targets), and when I check the data table I can see that the relevant Edges have not been imported from the CSV file. They are present in the CSV file.
It is while importing the Edge CSV file that some edges go missing. I am very concerned about this, because there could be other edges dropped that I have not detected.
I have tried on Mac and Microsoft and the same Edges are dropped each time.
This suggests two things:
There is an error with Gephi.
There is a problem with my data formatting, but I can’t see what the problem could be? What could be going wrong? Why could some edges be dropped, and others imported correctly? These nodes appear amongst the data – not at the start or the end - and when viewed as text the CSV looks perfectly uniform and correctly formatted.
