You can do formatting with printf:
Code:
awk -F, -v "w1=23" -v "w2=60" '
   NR==1{gsub(/-/,"",$0); printf("%-"w1"s %-"w2"s\n",$1,$2)}
   NR>1  {printf("%-"w1"s %-"w2"s\n"),$1,$2}' < input

Is an example for first 2 columns, and should give you a start. w1, w2 are widths of columns, you can pass them on to awk through -v switch as shown.

Actually, your input is in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format.

To format it as you want, adjust the values of w1-6 (widths of columns):
Code:
$ awk -F, '
   NR==1{gsub(/-/,"",$0)}
   {printf("%-"w1"s %-"w2"s %-"w3"s %-"w4"s %-"w5"s %-"w6"s\n"),$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6}
' w1=23 w2=35 w3=10 w4=10 w5=35 w6=10 test4
