Default Cells equal to another cell a certain # over

Nevermind, I figured it out. Bryan, thank you so much for the formula. All
I had to do was add 7 to the column number, so it doesn't pick up the row
description or total amount. So simplistic, but I didn't have time to
analyze it earlier. Here is my final formula in case anybody encounters a
similar problem:

IF(COLUMN()<=($C$111+7),"",IF(OFFSET(I8,0,-$C111)="","",OFFSET(I8,0,-$C111)))

C111 is the number of columns I need to offset by
row 8 is the information I am pulling from

Thanks again for all the help!!

I'm sorry, I forgot the file is on manual calculate. Once I hit F9 the
formula Bryan gave me works great. I do have one probelem though. The
information I want actually starts in H1. There is information in the
columns in front including a row description and a total. The cells A1
through E1 are blank. I don't want this information in F1 and G1 showing up.
Is there any way to disinclude them from the offset formula result? Thanks
for the help thus far!

I tried both of these formulas suggested and the result is labeled "volatile"
and not showing any numbers in the cells. Any other suggestions?

The formula for, say, cell E6 is
=OFFSET(E5,0,A3)
