    If this is free text then no, not without using java script.

    Though you could make the prompt populate a variable and then do upper(@{YourVariableNameHere}{DEFAULT_VALUE_HERE) = Your.Columnhere in the analysis that is 'catching' the prompt.

    If it is driven by a value list then you could convert the value list to SQL and then put the upper around the column name.

    But I definitely would NOT go for JS hacking even if you find a snippet online but rather capture the value entered in the free text prompt and then apply it in upper case - just make sure you display the filter visually so people know what gets applied.
