Could you rephrase your question in more precise wording? A function in SQL performs a calculation or modification of data in a table. Column names are groups of data, whereas values are the measurements of data in those groups. What exactly are you asking?

Yes, you can put in the column name as the passing argument to the function(). It now just depends on what that function() is actually doing that makes it relevant or not.
