Live Twitter feed in PowerBI

Is it possible to display a live Twitter feed in PowerBI? I have had a look at the "Timeline" Visualization but it's not clear whether this will display live, updated information, or whether it just displays static information in a Twitter style format.

RE: Live Twitter feed in PowerBI

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for the forum question.

I do not have experience doing live Twitter feeds, but I found two websites, which will bring you through the steps.

Please let me know if you after following the steps still have problems.

You may need to setup DirectQuery to get it live.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Brighten up your Excel 2010 Spreadsheet by changing the colours of the gridlines

Excel 2010 allows you to change the colour of grid lines instead of keeping them in boring black.

Select the File tab on the Ribbon, click Options, click Advanced, scroll down to ''Display options for this worksheet.'' Next to ''Gridline colour,'' choose your favourite colour, then once you've done this, click OK. Easy!
