If the answer is No then what other software you suggest to use to create dashboard with speedometer, I tried it with Excel but it is very hard, looking for easier dashboard where it will move the dial as more input values added Saving Changes...
Kevin, the problem on this chat I can not paste anything to show even snipping tools doesn't work here no graph no picture & no attachment Saving Changes...
If you are using the server version of MS Project, as there is a SQL back end database, any BI tool which has dashboard support would work.
But I'd ask the question, why a speedometer? Projects rarely have "real-time" updates the way a transaction processing system will, so what would a speedometer show which a more traditional bar chart or line chart couldn't?

For my projects, it's a visual of the current velocity. With colours for slow, could-be-faster, on-track, or supercharged velocity. An arrow shows which colour wedge the project is currently on.
This is primarily used for periodic meetings with the more senior stakeholders (internal or external) and is complemented by a line graph. They don't have to measure and calculate slopes in the velocity chart. I have, therefore, found it to be more useful when stressing on a specific point where help is needed (resources need to pick up their pace, changes to backlog need to be discouraged, we are overstretching ourselves and output quality is a risk, etc.).

Kiron, we have few stakeholders who like fancy scoreboard so they like the idea when you change values the needle moves on three different colors (area on speedometer)

Kiron, many projects I know they do require real time data (tick by tick)
