Try the Function below, will return the number of columns you need to Offset from your Rng to the "Header" you are looking for.
Option Explicit
Function OffesttoHeader(CurrentCol As Long, FindRng As Range, HeaderStr As String) As Long
Dim HeaderRng As Range
Set HeaderRng = FindRng.Find(what:=HeaderStr)
If Not HeaderRng Is Nothing Then
OffesttoHeader = HeaderRng.Column - CurrentCol + 1
Else
OffesttoHeader = -10000 ' raise to a large value >> as an error
End If
End Function
Test Sub Code (to test the function above):
Sub Test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range
Dim NumberofCols As Long
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") ' modify to your sheet's name
Set Rng = ws.Range("B1:B20")
' pass the following parameters:
' 1. Rng.column - in your case column B = 2
' 2. ws.Rows(1) - the Range to search for the Header, first row in ws worksheet
' 3. "Header" - the Header string you are searching for
NumberofCols = OffesttoHeader(Rng.Column, ws.Rows(1), "Header")
' raise an error message box
If NumberofCols = -10000 Then
MsgBox "Unable to find Header"
End If
End Sub

Try the Function below, will return the number of columns you need to Offset from your Rng to the "Header" you are looking for.
Option Explicit
Function OffesttoHeader(CurrentCol As Long, FindRng As Range, HeaderStr As String) As Long
Dim HeaderRng As Range
Set HeaderRng = FindRng.Find(what:=HeaderStr)
If Not HeaderRng Is Nothing Then
OffesttoHeader = HeaderRng.Column - CurrentCol + 1
Else
OffesttoHeader = -10000 ' raise to a large value >> as an error
End If
End Function
Test Sub Code (to test the function above):
Sub Test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range
Dim NumberofCols As Long
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") ' modify to your sheet's name
Set Rng = ws.Range("B1:B20")
' pass the following parameters:
' 1. Rng.column - in your case column B = 2
' 2. ws.Rows(1) - the Range to search for the Header, first row in ws worksheet
' 3. "Header" - the Header string you are searching for
NumberofCols = OffesttoHeader(Rng.Column, ws.Rows(1), "Header")
' raise an error message box
If NumberofCols = -10000 Then
MsgBox "Unable to find Header"
End If
End Sub
In order to obtain the solution you seek above, use the Range.Find Method.
'Column Number
Dim clmCountry as Integer
From here, we want to find the header by using the Range.Find Method
'to find the header
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SheetName")
'update the range if necessary
clmCountry = .Range("A1:Z1").Find("HeaderName").Column
End With
Once you've found the desired column, you may offset the following way:
... Offset(RowNum, clmCountry).Value = ...
Using the Offset(Row, Column) PROPERTY, you want to offset with the increment of row (i -1), and 3 columns to the right (from column "A" to column "D")
Try the modified code below:
Set example = Range("A1")
For i = 1 To LastRow
example.Offset(i - 1, 3).Formula = "=SUM(A" & i & ":B" & i & ")"
Next i
One way of outputting the formula in one step, without looping, to the entire range, is to use the R1C1 notation:
Edit: Code modified to properly qualify worksheet references
Option Explicit
Sub checkOffset()
Dim example As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
With sht
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set example = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(LastRow, 1))
End With
example.Offset(columnoffset:=3).FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(rc[-3],rc[-2])"
End Sub
