Description

Example code:

df = pd.DataFrame(np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]),columns=['col_a', 'col_b', 'col_c'])
excelwritename = '/tmp/Test%s.xlsx' %pd.datetime.now(pytz.timezone('US/Pacific')).strftime('%b%d_%I_%M %p')
with pd.ExcelWriter(excelwritename, engine='xlsxwriter',datetime_format='mmm dd yyyy hh:mm AM/PM') as writer:
df.to_excel(writer,columns=['col_a','col_b'],sheet_name = 'xyz')

Problem description:

specifying column names to output to excel is no longer working in pandas 1.0.0 and it outputs all columns in the df.
Checked different versions of xlsxwriter, but pandas 0.25.3 works fine, while 1.0.0 does not.

Expected Output

It should only output columns that are specified, but it outputs all columns of df

Output of pd.show_versions()

[paste the output of pd.show_versions() here below this line]
