Hi,
Now I don't know why you need to show the column heading if data won't be shown, but maybe it is something the client thinks it's something "nice" to have.
Anyway, look at this example that shows/hides entire column depending on the selected value of a check box ( in your case LOV) .
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:78:1494600569809382:::RP,::
You can tweak it as follows:
Assume in your report you have 2 columns (col1,col2) that you want to be shown/hidden depneding on that LOV , create duplicated of these coulmns ( col1_2 , col2_2) that shows "null" values and are hidden at page load.
Then tweak that provided code to show the "duplicate" coulmn and hide the original column if corresponding value was seleced in the LOV...something like :
Col1   Col1_2      Col2           Col2_2
Mike               Manage
John              Accountantat load it will look like :
Col1        Col2         
Mike       Manage
John      AccountantWhen LOV selects col1 to be hidden , it will hide col1 and show col1_2
Col1        Col2         
            Manage
