How do I create a timeline with text that can "skip ahead" to a desired start week?

I’m trying to make a timeline that can auto-populate a cell contents based on which week they should begin. I would like to provide excel with information like this….

Task First Week Second Week 3rd Week
Project 1 40 40 20
Project 2 20 40 40

Then I want be able to see this as a timeline once I enter the "start week" info.

Task Start Week Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5
Project 1 1 40 40 20
Project 2 3 20 40 40

I tried working with XLOOKUP, IF, and OFFSET, and got a lot of "SPILL" errors. Thanks for you help in advance!

>Solution :

With an IF and INDEX/MATCH and some math:

=IF(COLUMN(A$1)<$H2,"",IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$D$3,MATCH($G2,$A$2:$A$3,0),COLUMN(A$1)-$H2+1),""))

That goes in I2 then copy/drag over and down.
