Get value of selected item in combobox as comboBox.getSelectedItem() and parse it to integer and then call following method:

public void getSelected(int comboBoxValue){
    table.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);

    // The following column selection method works 
    // only if these properties are set
    table.setColumnSelectionAllowed(true);
    table.setRowSelectionAllowed(false);

    table.setColumnSelectionInterval(comboBoxValue, comboBoxValue);
}

First you need to configure your table to allow for column selection:

table.setColumnSelectionAllowed( true );
table.setRowSelectionAllowed( false );

Then for the combo box you need to add an ActionListener to select the column based on the selected item index:

table.setColumnSelectionInverval(...);
