You could create a parameter which would "select" version you'd like to run at the moment.

Write a Forma Trigger for all columns (and their headings), for example
BEGIN
  IF :p_what_to_print = 1 THEN
     RETURN (TRUE);
  END IF;
  RETURN (FALSE);
END;
Also, you might set Horizontal Elasticity to "Variable" (instead of "Fixed") to make the output look nicer.
