It is possible to dynamically modify or insert data as part of your modification. This is where you either modify an existing value, or insert data from another column.
Dynamic modifications are achieved via shortcodes that you insert into the modification.

You can wrap data with a column modifier:
[upper]value[/upper]
Typically this would be used with a regular expression to find data, capture it, and then insert a modified version back.
The following modifiers are available:
upper
