Default Rolling Average for Prediction

If you use the formula =average(a1:aX) where X is the cell immediately above
then each month you could replace the formula with the actual and the future
months will show the correct average.

Hi all,

I'm hoping and anticipating that theres a really simple solution to
this question but I can't seem to get my head around it. Any advice you
could provide would be much appreciated.

I'm simply calculating hit rate, or average on a monthly basis, and I
want this data to inform future months in a predictive fashion.

Thus I have 10 in Jan, 5 in Feb, my avarage is obviously 7.5, thus I
would like all months after Feb to predict the "hit" figure to be 7.5.


I would like this to work on a rolling basis as evidently as the actual
figures are available the average changes and thus so does the
prediction.

I appreciate this isnt the most scientific way to model things but any
assistance would be appreciated.

Thnx
