Multiple column heading for sql that returns single column

Question

Hi All,
I have just started using APEX and my apex version is 3.2.0.00.27.
We have a report that displays the output from a query similar to the below one. We are using borderless template and removed the "before each row" and "after each row" values to allow the output displayed in table format.
Now we wanted to include heading for each column displayed in table. We wanted to include headings from a derived value, Example for column1 , heading need to display the sysdate and column2 heading should be sysdate-1 and so on.  But the column attribute tab is having only one column My_rep. Not sure how to se pl/sql type column heading in this case. Could someone please help me to achieve this?
Please let me know if I have missed to provide any other details. Thanks in advance.
select '<tr>
    <td>' || column1    || '</td>' ||
    <td>' || column2    || '</td>' ||
    <td>' || column3    || '</td>' ||
    <td>' || column4    || '</td>' ||
    || '</tr>' My_rep
from mytable

I have just started using APEX and my apex version is 3.2.0.00.27.
Upgrading from this unsupported version to the current 4.2 release is recommended.
When you post a question, always include the following information in addition to the full APEX version number:
Full database version, edition and host OS
Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener), server platform, and host OS
Browser(s)/version(s) used
UI/Theme
Templates
Region type (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. To get a detailed answer then it's appropriate for the questioner to take on a significant part of the effort by reproducing the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which can then be seen at first hand in a real APEX environment.
we wanted to get a report in Apex with the below format. and we wanted to change background color of each cell depends on the combination of code||status
Heading        sysdate             sysdate-1              sysdate-2                              ...(sysdate-30
======        ======          ========               =======
name         code||status                                   code||status
name                                  code||status
we are using the below query to get this table format. But heading is the issue we are facing now
select '<tr>
    <td>' || name    || '</td>' ||
    '<td style=background-color:' || case when sysdate0='0C' then 'Green' when sysdate0='0I' then 'Red'     when (substr(sysdate0,1,1)!='0' and substr(sysdate0,1,1)='I') then 'Orange'  else 'Yellow' end || '>  &nbsp'  || sysdate0 || '  &nbsp</td>'  ||
    || '</tr>' repcolumn
from
  (select
        a.name,
        max(decode(trunc(a.ardate),trunc(sysdate), a.code||a.STATUS , '' ))   sysdate0,
        max(decode(trunc(a.ardate),trunc(sysdate-30), a.code||a.STATUS , '' )) sysdate30
from
        mytab a
where
        a.ardate>=sysdate-30
group by a.name)
