Add A data source to show Comments on various projects

Hello, community. I have been working on a projects report dashboard that has different functionalities; among them to show ongoing or completed projects in the pipeline. I have a table visual that is as follows. 

projectNo.Client NameSite nameProject 
Manager
ProductRevenueProgress update
33214Client ANew YorkAlexcloud32300complete
33215Client ADallasDianainternet connection16000In progress
33216Client BArizonaJamescloud27200Not Started
33217Client BDallasWilfredEquipment34200in progress
33218Client CWashingtonDianaEquipment 14900Not Started
33219Client CFloridaLauraEquipment45200Complete
33220Client DAlaskaWilfredInternet Connection34200In progress
33221Client EChicagoJamesCloud22200Not Started



However, I want to add a comments section to that visual to be as follows.

projectNo.Client NameSite nameProject 
Manager
ProductRevenueProgress updateComments

As you can see the comments are dynamic and not dropdowns. The CRM used to obtain the data does not have the comment functionality hence we need an external source to achieve this. I was thinking of Excel but that will be very menial, however, not out. Also power apps and power flows also would be welcome. The projectNo is the Primary Key. Feel free to seek more clarification.

Hi @Datagulf ,

 

So the comments is from another table with projectNo. to connect with the table visual? Or you want a feature to add comments to corresponding projectNo. like end-user-comment ?

Second option. I want a feature to add comments so that those comments can be connected to the Dashboard..
