Default Transpose? Offset? Variable starting cell

Good afternoon~

I have scoured the discussion boards and my mind, but can't seem to figure
this one out. Any help would be much appreciated. OK, here is my problem.
I have a chart listing %s (C20:C34). These %s represent how much cost should
be allocted to month 1 through (at most, but could be less) month 15 of a
production period. The problem is the starting month for the cost is
variable, in cell D75. When the month number in D75 matches the month number
in the array H4:DW4 the costs should start based on the %s input in C20:C34,
ie. if the 1st month of production % (C20) is 10% and the costs don't start
until month 10 (in this array would be Q4) then I need in Q75 to show the
result of 10%*G75 (total cost). In R75 the resulting formula would be
C21*G75 and so on until you reach the end of the production month period.
I'm thinking some sort of combination of OFFSET and TRANSPOSE would be in
order, but I can't exactly figure out how to word the formula. Maybe it
would be helpful to first transpose the chart %s first and go from there?
Please help if you have any ideas. Hopefully I am explaining my dilemna
appropriately so others can understand my question. If you have any
questions about my problem please post so that I may answer. Let me help you
help me. ;)

Thanks in advance for your help.
