Hi @venkateshgr

I know this is an old thread, but I see that nobody replied to you regarding this.

Yes, you could create that Dashboard using PowerApps.

Yes, you can connect to external data sources, however it will depend on what access they allow:

You can use a Flow call from PowerApps

- if they have an API you can use

- if they have a connector available

You could also create a custom connector (there are various tutorials online for this) where you define how that data is accessed/retrieved, however this will require a level of programming that may be above citizen developer level.

Cheers,

Sancho
