It has been a while since I have proposed “tweetboards” an option for people making dashboards. I have received two very good examples of the dynamic (automatically updating) tweetboard implementations from our readers.
1. The first example from Fernando
I must appreciate Fernando for sending this beautifully implemented tweetboard. Not only that, he took great troubles to change the formulas so that the dashboard would work in my version of Excel (he prepared it in Portuguese version where the formulas are named differently, so when I open it in my comp, the formulas would show #NAME! error)

Thank you Fernando 🙂
Download the tweetboard implementation example 1 and see it yourself.
2. The second example from Lee
Lee has combined traditional dashboard charts with descriptive text message idea from tweetboard to create this neat claims dashboard. It is very well implemented.

Thank you Lee 🙂
Download the tweetboard implementation example 2 and see it for yourself.

You can also plot 2 or more Y axes in Excel using EZplot or Multy_Y from Office Expander.com
There is a demo version to try.
