Create matrix data from two columns?
Hello Excel Experts, I've an issue that requires your expertise, as follows: A MySQL database outputs data about groups members belong to in two columns, as shown he GroupID MemberID 1 35 1 657 2 43 2 57 2 35 3 657 3 43 3 57 It would be useful if this data could be re-sorted into a matrix format, based on either variable, as shown he Count By GroupID (count of how many members groups share) 1 2 3 1 2 1 1 2 1 3 2 3 1 2 3 Count by MemberID (count of how many groups members share) 35 43 57 657 35 2 1 1 1 43 1 2 2 1 57 1 2 2 1 657 1 1 1 2 As you can see, data is repeated in the matrix, so if its easier to creat just half the matrix, that's fine too. The goal is to get the data in matrix format for 'social network' analysis, which requires the format. Once you have the data in the right format, you can do a lot, but getting it into that format usually requires hand-coding or special data collection tools. If you can figure this out, there are many, many social scientists out there who'll be able to convert datasets for new analyses, and who'll sing your praises in the process. Thanks in advance, Dav Bran |
