KPI for Sharepoint Online hooked into Excel

Question

I've been tasked with looking for replacements for our current KPI system as we move from Sharepoint 2013 to Sharepoint Online.

In our current system we use a KPI web part that hooks into Excel Spreadsheets and displays the data on web pages in a standard KPI display.

I've already found some options for going to online, the spreadsheets can be displayed directly on the page if we want, I can use formatted columns in a Sharepoint List for a dynamic KPI display but it doesn't hook into the Excel Spreadsheet as far as I know such that updating the spreadsheet updates the list. Or we can use Microsoft Dynamics, which is expensive and I don't know if it can hook into Excel Spreadsheets.

Is there another option for hooking into an Excel Spreadsheet hosted in a Sharepoint library and displaying the data in Sharepoint Online in a KPI format?

Have you tried with Power BI to do the data visualization and integrate it with SharePoint online?
