How should I create a dashboard that uses different datasets?

Dear All, good morning.

 

Wanted to have an input from all of you about the current issue I am facing. I do need to create a report containing all KPI's created on different reportwithin the company.

 

The current issue I am facing is, there are more than 10 report, each with it's own logic dataset and visuals, I need to place all of the KPI's in another new report.

 

What is the best solution and approach for this case? Creating a KPI page within every report and afterwards consolidating into a dashboard? I did not like this approach as you do not have that much way to configure a dashboard visually compared to reports...

 

Thank you in advance!

@Anonymous , If you do not want dashboard

Are these datasets overlapping, if yes, merge using ALM toolkit.
