Parameters, matrix & measures (Need Help)

I am trying to build a dynamic calculator inside Power BI using multiple parameters. Is there a way to create a dynamic dashboard that will allow the user to filter the names they want in the table and have it calculate the fields using the parameters specific to each name in the table? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

FYI, I know how to create parameters, but when using them it calculates the entire table using the same parameters. I need the parameters to be row specific, so I can calculate each row with different parameters.

Hi @Jarodp42 ,

After my research, I'm afraid it couldn't achieve in Power BI for now. For your requirement, you could post your new idea in Power BI ideas and make this feature coming sooner.

Hi @Jarodp42 ,

Hi, @v-joesh-msft thanks for responding to my post. To make it a little more clear on what I am trying to accomplish, I have posted a pic for a visual understanding. As you can see from the pic, the dropdowns are the parameters that I am wanting to base my measures on. However, I am unable to figure out how to use multiple parameters within the same table or matrix. I would like to have different parameters for each language pair in my table/matrix. (Not sure if a table or matrix would be best to use) Is there a way to make a parameter row specific inside a table/matrix?

 

For example, English -> China could have 9 cases, 6725 words, 24.7% leverage with a rate of $.125 while English -> Japan could have 15 cases, 3000 words, 30.2% leverage with a rate of $.150 and so on depending on how many language pairs I am looking to use in my table. How would I be able to use parameters and measure to calculate it so each language pair calculates using their specific parameters?

Thank you for your response @v-joesh-msft After the research that I had done as well I wasn't able to complete the task I was hoping to accomplish. I appreciate your time and effort in helping me.
