Hi SvenSieverding, I've being playing around with power automate, but I have not succeed at all.
i) in order to make changes I need to insert tables and it's not enabled for excel online with xlsm extension:
besides that, inserting tables might change the excel client format and might turn the overall process to be a semi manual task.
Is there any other tool you have in mind I can check out to write data from excel online to another excel online?

You might generally have problems if you are using a xlsm file format, because macros are not working in Excel Online.
You could create a new worksheet in your file and add a table there. Then you can populate that table with data from a Power Automate Flow. After that you can use the call Office Scripts Action from Power Automate to call an Office Script

In that ccript you can copy the values into the cells in your Report
Alternatively you could think about other technolgies like Power BI or a Power App
