Ok, first of all you would need to add some parameters so if the user selects Column 1 = Choice a, the other parameters allow Choice b and c, and so on.

When you have that in place you need to add a Switch(Case) statement into the headers and fields of the colums, (Could be an Iff, if you wanted)

So basically the header expression would be something like,

=iif(Parameter.Col1 = "optiona", "Option a field",
iif(Parameter.Col1 = "optionb", "Option b field","Option c field"))

and then the same for col 2 and 3.

Its a bit rusty, but you get the idea.

That was the user can select what to show in the columns.

Hope this helps.
