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 🙂

Hey Dan,
Thanks a lot... this is too good 🙂
Awesome stuff Dan! very impressed..
Thanks guys.
Some nice ideas in there, thanks for sharing. I noticed the list with teams has a missing value though ('Arizona Diamondbacks'). Also when manipulating Pivot Tables with VBA you should be really careful not to try to select a value that isn't in the Pivot Table, if you do all hell breaks loose 🙂 That's not the case here but just some advise as I learned the hard way...
Ah.....ya caught me.
dnrTeamName drives both the charts and the drop down list. It refers to:
=OFFSET(PvtTeams!$A$6,0,0,COUNTA(PvtTeams!$A$6:$A$40),1)
If you change A6 to A5, it fixes that little issue.
A better question though, who actually cares about the Arizona Diamondbacks?
🙂
Excellent post. Thanks
Great job, Dan! Thanks a million!

Hi,
I downloaded file, but looks like everything is in xml. Was there suppose to be excel file as well?
Thanks!
I'm late to the party, but seeing this file in action and studying the underlying data in this Excel file has been AWESOME. I have TONS of new ideas to implement in my work files now. THANK YOU Dan and Chandoo!
