Hi there

Is it possible to get information from several Excel files, and show it on a SharePoint Online dashboard like a KPI? How?
(I need to show two cells from excel1, four cells from excel2, and so on from many excel files (on to our dashboard).
All Excel files reside within the same website in SharePoint Online.

Thank you.
