Why re-invent the wheel? This sounds just like the RB multi-column edit field although you don't have an option for entering functions (and seeing values). In RB you also have checkboxes that may be used for a column in this object.
The RB implementation of this object is exactly what we need in Rev (IMHO). However, to carry this thought experiment a bit further, perhaps a "hidden" column could contain the formulae which would display its result in the column to its right? Just a thought.
