Default Grow column reference infinitely?

In both the formulas below how can I expand column "CP" infinitely as the
number of columns grows over time?
For 1 column move in sheet "Dashboard" (the current sheet), sheet "Satchmo
Daily" (the reference sheet), expands 7 columns. So the column expansion is
not able to keep up as the formula moves only one cell for every 7 reference
cells.

=LOOKUP('Dashboard (2)'!S$16,'Satchmo Daily'!$B$6:CP$6,'Satchmo
Daily'!$B25:CP25)

=SUM(OFFSET(INDEX('Satchmo Daily'!$B31:$CP31,MATCH('Dashboard
(2)'!C$16,'Satchmo Daily'!$B$6:$CP$6,0)),0,-6,1,7))

TIA,
Earl
