No, it cannot do this. Not for books in the same library. What is meant by multiple columns (in the advanced mode) is the ability to compare books using more than the standard two columns (in the regular mode). e.g. finding duplicates using title, author and series.

Edit: If you want to compare different columns for the same book, you can use calibre's template search. For more details consult calibre manual. Also note that you need to be familiar with the the template language.
