Default finding 10 smallest numbers from last 20 input

in AD4:

=SMALL(OFFSET($A$B1,COUNT($A:$A)-20,,20),
ROW()-ROW(AD$4)+1)

Copied down to AD13.

Assumes no blank cells, and no other data in column AB.

I can find the smallest 10 numbers from a range of 20 cells by using
"Small".
But when the 21st. number is input I want to move the range down one to
account for the new number input. 2-21 instead of 1-20. So in the formula
it
would still read the last 20 numbers. This could change every week so the
cell range would need to move to the latest input and drop off the oldest
(what would then be the 21st. oldest). As I understand it a dynamic range
would add a new cell to the range but I need to keep the range at 20
cells -
just change the range by one each time a number is input. The range is
column AB and the 10 smallest formula is in column AD4:AD13.

I hope this is clear and thanks for any help
