Edgelist with multiple edges

[martinusdk]

Hi

I have a large email dataset. I have an edgelist with a list of email senders but there are multiple receivers for each email. How can I import this to Gephi? As far as I have tried I only get the sender and ONE Receiver into the system pr. mail (observation).

Like this:

Sender (A) - Receiver 1, Receiver 2
Sender (B) - Receiver 2
Sender (C) - Receiver 1, Receiver 2, Receiver 3

Hi,
Are you using Import spreasheet in data laboratory or Open - File - CSV?
Import spreasheet reads only 1 edge per line, while CSV can define more than one.

So, your correct edges in CSV would be:

Code: Select all

"Sender (A)","Receiver 1","Receiver 2"
"Sender (B)","Receiver 2"
"Sender (C)","Receiver 1","Receiver 2","Receiver 3"

Quotes are necessary so the parser knows that the spaces are not separators. Also, remove trailing whitespaces.
