Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
The app should be setup with a formula column.
Formula columns in Microsoft Dataverse perfectly match all of your requirements.
Same-row evaluation: Formula columns use Power Ffx to calculate values using other columns within the same row.
Dynamic calculation: They are calculated in real-time when the record is retrieved or accessed.
No data storage: The results are virtual. They are not stored physically in the database table, saving storage space.
Zero custom code: You build them directly in the Power Apps maker portal using low-code Power Ffx expressions, completely avoiding plugins or JavaScript.
