    Hi akj2784,

     

    Maybe I misundersand your requirement before.

     

    It seems that you want to create a streaming dataset for twitter data in Power BI Service.

     

    You could have a reference of this blog.

Hi akj2784,

 

You may could use web data source to call Twitter API and do the data cleaning in Query Editor. Available retrieved data are also depends on the Twitter API.

 

For reference, you could have a good look at the blog: Get Data from Twitter API with Power Query.

 

In addition, you could refer to this similar thread.

 

Best Regards,

    I have read those blogs but it does not talk about live streaming of the data. 

    However I got a blog which uses Microsoft Flow to live stream the data from twitter.

        Thank you. I already read that.

        Somehow when I tweet something, it doesnt automatically reflect in Power BI Dashboard. 

        But when I refresh the page, it comes up.

         

        Ideally it should automatically show in the dashboard as soon as the new tweets related to the hashtag comes up. I have pinned the report to dashboard but still not showing. And microsoft flow also ran successfully.
