This is not possible with a view because SQL Server queries are always statically typed in the sense that both column count, names and types are statically known at execution time.
You need dynamic SQL for dynamic columns.
Views do not support dynamic SQL. You have to find some other way of returning the data, maybe with one row per logical column.
