Is there a formula that I can put next to the final date that will "forecast" the number?

My car contract allows 12,000 miles per year and I'm checking if I'm estimated to hit it.

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK

Done :)

EDIT: I was unable to edit my original post so I'll add this here. This worked: =FORECAST.LINEAR(A9,B2:B8,A2:A8)

Bit rubbish that you hardly get any time to edit posts.
You have 10 minutes. We found that if a lot of time is allowed, posts get a number of responses & then later an earlier post is significantly edited (or deleted), rendering those subsequent posts meaningless. To some extent that happened here with post 2 sounding like you didn't post any sample data in post 1, when in fact you did - but only in your edit.

It is easy to just add another post correcting or clarifying an earlier one if you miss the 10 minutes.
