Hi @Anonymous . Power BI isn't really built to have input data and have instant outputs like excel. You can use "What if parameters" like @lbendlin has suggested or have seperate dax calculations. However, if the scenario is you want the viewer to freely update this number  without your assistance, they will need to have an understanding of Power BI to do so.

Have you considered using "What-If?" parameters?

I found a solution creating a parameter as shown in the image, 

like this i have input filed on the left, then created 4 parameters, the default and one for each column.

for now is working good.
