Is it possible to make one ("Comment" in the example below) column to dynamically resize to fill available formatting width e.g. window?

I can't figure if it's possible with ItemSize -> Scaled[...] because I'd like to have the first two columns to be of their natural size (ItemSize->Full).

Thanks in advance.

You can wrap comments with Pane and use the option ImageSize -> Full:

grid = {{"Name", "Value", "Comment"},
    {"name1", 123.2, ""},
    {"name2", 321.12332,  Pane["potentially very long commment ....................", 
     Alignment -> Center, ImageSize -> Full]}};

Grid[grid, Dividers -> All, Alignment -> {Center, Center}]

If we change the notebook's window width the width of the third column is adjusted:
