adding columns dynamically to the excel template

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to develop a report based on the excel template. I use standard class XMLExcelReport_RU. I need to do one unusual thing I didn't before. I have created a temporary table with the info I'll need in my report. It contains records with the date field. Some records will contain the same value for the date field. I need somehow add columns with unique dates from the temporary table.

this is the code where I fill up my temporary table:

protected void createReport()
{
    int i = 1;
    this.initSectionMap();

    this.execute(#HEADER);
    
    while(qr.next())
    {
        smmActivityParentLinkTable = qr.get(tableNum(SMMActivityParentLinkTable));
        smmActivities              = qr.get(tableNum(smmActivities));
        tsTimeSheetLine            = qr.get(tableNum(tsTimeSheetLine));
        tsTimesheetLineWeek        = qr.get(tableNum(tsTimesheetLineWeek));
        
        
        for (i=1; i<=7; i =1)
        {
            if(tsTimesheetLineWeek.Hours[i])
            {
                taskDaysFactTmp_ICL.ActivityType        = smmActivities.ICLPRJDevTaskActivityType;
                taskDaysFactTmp_ICL.ResponsibleWorker   = HcmWorker::worker2Name(smmActivities.ResponsibleWorker);
                taskDaysFactTmp_ICL.ActivityDate = tsTimesheetLineWeek.DayFrom   (i-1);    
                taskDaysFactTmp_ICL.Hours = tsTimesheetLineWeek.Hours[i]; 
            }
        }
        
        taskDaysFactTmp_ICL.insert();
    }
        
    this.execute(#PageHeader);
    this.execute(#Body);
}

#PageHeader section in my template will contain dynamic columns with unique dates from temporary table.

To do this I need to go through all records from my temporary table and somehow add columns to template:

protected void fillPageHeader()
{
    while select activitydate from taskDaysFactTmp_ICL
        group by taskDaysFactTmp_ICL.ActivityDate
        order by taskDaysFactTmp_ICL.ActivityDate
    {
        
    }
}

How to add columns to template with unique date fields from temporary table?

Thank you.
