Finally, I found the solution

<ng-container matColumnDef="unit">
    <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element">
        <mat-form-field>
            <input type="text" matInput placeholder="User Value"
                         (input)="userMetrics(element.ques,$event.target.value)">
        </mat-form-field> {{element.unit}}
    </mat-cell>
</ng-container>
