Multiply column by a measure

I have created a new parameter that requires a users input. I need to multiply a whole column by this value. For example if someone types 20 into the box, every entry in the column will be multiplied by 20. I have tried creating a new column using the following. 

 

New_column= [Parameter]*[Column]

However, the parameter being entered is not being picked up. 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Columns in PBI are loaded when data is refreshed. They are STATIC. You cannot change their contents dynamically.

What you really need is a measure.
