Is it possible to use LAST_INSERT_ID() within an insert query?

INSERT INTO mytable (col1, col2) VALUES ('val1', null), ('val2', LAST_INSERT_ID())

Trying the above LAST_INSERT_ID() returns 0, Just seeing if i can combine the query.

+1  A: 

From what i found it won't work as LAST_INSERT_ID doesn't have a value until the whole statement has finished.
