Default how do I multiply dollars by networkdays for forcasting run rates

What's your formula so far? Without more information, it's hard to tell if
the problem is math or Excel. In general, you would project full-month sales
as MTD Sales * (business days in full month) / (business days MTD).

of the above formula to generate the projected sales in dollars ($) for the
month.

When I try it now it give me an un-godly number in the millions when I know
that the results should be in the $150,000.00 range. Where did I go wrong?
What did I leave out? Set me straight & earn the thanks of a grateful old
