Default Get the last displayed number in a row of columns

Here is something that seems to work for me
=OFFSET(B2,0,COUNT(B2:G2)-1+COUNTBLANK(B2:G2))

according to the OP, the cells may sometimes be blank

I have a spreadsheet that has data in row 4, colums B thru G. There are
formulas in these cells that get numbers from other cells (if applicable -
sometimes these cells are blank).

you can entering the following formula in cell J4

=OFFSET(B2,0,COUNT(B2:G2)-1)

it counts the number of values in your range and offsets the starting cell
to the number of values in the range giving you the last entered value. If
you don't have any blank cells

I think this will also do what you ask.
=LOOKUP(MAX(B4:G4),B4:G4)

contain numbers from B4 to D4. Other times the numbers might be in cells
B4 to F4.
What I need is to be able to put the last visible amount in row 4, wheter it
be in column B,C,D,E,F or G into another cell... J4 for example.

Any help would be appreciated.
