Oh, that makes all the difference in the world. I just trashed a very long
message about the dangers of over-simplifying such endeavors. But for
school, we do it all the time :-(.

Most likely, you will use the FORECAST function.
Do you have historical data for a year or more? If so, first, you should
chart it to verify that it demonstrates a linear trend. Do you need help
with that?
Also, did the class project specifications hint at any other factors that
might affect the prediction of future sales? For example, is the sale of
vases seasonal? (Vases make great gifts around Easter and Christmas.)
