Help needed for solving interesting problem

Hi friends,

This is my scenario:

We have a table with 980+ columns. For each transaction entered not all columns will contain data, Most of the time for each row there will be having data only in few columns per se 10+ columns and all other columns are null. So my team whenever they need to retrieve columns containing only data it is becoming tough as they always have to read all the 980 columns to find out which columns has data.

I was wondering if there is any way I create a storeprocedure or function or any efficient query which can solve their problem so that they can only see columns containing data as it more easy accessible to my team. 

Any help or tips are highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
