Total sales for 5 days is 520 (Sum of Sales column)
The number of days is 5

Average sales per day 104 (520 divided by 5)
Now I want to have a calculated column to show future date sales based on the data set's average.

Not enough data for a proper forecast.  Even if you would use a sliding window it would flatten out quickly.  You also don't seem to consider weekends/holidays/seasonality.
