The below Stored Procedure do What you need

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Rotat]
    -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
     @Where nvarchar(max),
     @tableName nvarchar(max)
AS
BEGIN

Declare @SqlQuery nvarchar(max),@ColumnName nvarchar(255)
DECLARE @TempTable TABLE 
( 
      ID int IDENTITY(1,1) , 
      ColumnName nvarchar(255), 
      ColumnValue ntext 
)


INSERT INTO @TempTable (ColumnName)
    SELECT      column_name
    FROM information_schema.columns
    WHERE table_name = @tableName 

Declare @index int
Set @index = 1;  

Declare @Count int
Select @Count = Count(ID) from @TempTable
declare @columnValue  nvarchar(255)
declare @paraDef nvarchar(max)
declare @string nvarchar(max)

WHILE @index <= @Count 
BEGIN
    Select @ColumnName = ColumnName from @TempTable where id = @index
    set @string ='select @ret= cast('+ @ColumnName + ' AS nvarchar(255) )  
        from '+@tableName+' WHERE ' + @Where

    set  @paraDef=N'@ret nvarchar(255) output'

    EXECUTE sp_executesql @string, @paraDef,@ret=@ColumnValue  output

    UPDATE  @TempTable 
    SET     ColumnValue = @columnValue
    WHERE   ID =@index

    Set @index = @index + 1
END

Select * from @TempTable

END

Just call it an pass table name and your condition that will return one row for example

EXEC    [dbo].[Rotat]
        @Where = 'UserID = 123456',
        @tableName = 'Users'
