Dynamic columns in Excel Template

For Answers / OBI / OAS? No. That's the opposite of what these tools do.
Bring data INTO the system and use it properly. Don't dump it out of the system into a joke of an uncontroled, glorified notepad like Excel where there is zero governance, control or security.

That was the user's request and i am not the functional consultant. I'm just a developer trying to do some magic with the given requirement. You could have said "this can't be possible" to my question and it would have been enough.

I could have, but then the next question is "can we make it possible".
Your job desscription may not literally and in letter say "functional consultant", but as a subject matter expert it falls into your domain to educate.
The ability to select columns of data you want is called "self service" and is an integral part of analytic since Answers exists as that is what Answers does.
"User requests" are most often based on a reluctance to change their ingrained ways and hence waste invested money, work and effort. What that ends up with is .... the next product your employer will buy where they will do the same thing in green. And then in blue.
Making your organization better at doing things and utilizing their investments is in the best interest of everybody. Be they developer or functional or backoffice or customer facing.
