How to forecast units sold?

Assuming you have 9 years of historical data for revenue and unit sales organized by year and month … how would you go about forecasting year 10 unit sales by month?

Planning on making a simplifying assumption for the unit sales price and holding it constant, but unsure of what methodologies make sense to forecast the number of units sold by month.

Understand excel has built in regression features but trying to understand all options given my stats background isn’t strong.
