Pulling Latest Tweet

[jsabo]

Hello,

I am building a dashboard which features data about current US congressmen/women. I am looking for a way to pull the latest tweet when a representative is selected from a slicer (I have the representative's twitter handle in my data). Has anyone done anything like this? What I want is similar to direct query I think, where the data is not pulled en masse, only pulled when a selection in the slicer is made, and then I wanted it to scroll along the Scroller custom visual.

Thanks.

I don't think that this is possible, as there is no direct-query-connection to a web-source. You have to import it.

So you'd better create a query in the query-editor where you pull the latest tweets from each candidate and then combine that with the slicer-selection.
