You can do that in Storyline.
- Insert a Numeric Entry Field for each "row" of the column.

- When you insert a Numeric Entry Field, the program automatically creates a variable to track what is entered. For easier programming and troubleshooting, I suggest you rename those variables (e.g., row1, row2).
- If you want any of the fields to have specific numbers that can't be changed, set that number as the default value for that field. Also cover the field with a 99% transparent shape. (That will prevent users from clicking into it.)
- Do this to get the sum:
- Create a number variable.
- Insert a text box with a reference to that variable.
- Create a button with triggers that do this:
- Set the value of the number variable to 0.
- Add the value of the numeric-entry variables to the number variable. (You'll need a trigger for each row.)
Rise doesn't have this functionality, but you could insert a Storyline block that has it.
FYI: Here's more info about variables: https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/articulate-storyline-360-user-guide-how-to-work-with-variables
