Can I use the choosecols function and bring in column 2, then leave a blank column, then bring in column 11, then 2 blank columns, and the bring in column 21 and 15?

=CHOOSECOLS(FILTER('EPM Report'!A:S,('EPM Report'!P:P<>0)),2," ",11," "," ",21,15),2,1)
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
If you expand the array to include a blank column at the end of the range, you could use it like this:
