Display a Tweet Based on its URL

Hi all,

 

I have some Twitter data and one of the columns contains links to specific tweets - e.g. https://twitter.com/MSPowerBI/status/918559402034122753

 

Is there a way that I can display this tweet in a dashboard? I have a bubble chart with engagement figures and it would be great to be able to display the tweet when a specific bubble is clicked on.

 

I'm aware of the Twitter plugin you can use, but I'm currently being passed the data directly from a MySQL database and (if possible) would rather not have to sign up to an Azure account, etc...plus, I'm not entirely sure the plugin can actually display individual tweets anyhow.

 

But I digress! Any thoughts / ideas on how to solve this?

 

TIA,

 

SamB

    Hi SamB,

     

    Firstly, I don't think it's a good idea to show Twitters in the dashboard. It's strange to show a web page in a small tile. How about opening it in a new tab? You can organize data as web URLs. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Or adding a web content to a tile.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Best Regards!
