How do I make a graph to model the trend of retail sales, and also extrapolate/predict the trend for future years?

This is the data sheet I want to use - https://www.ons.gov.uk/businessindustryandtrade/retailindustry/datasets/retailsalesindexreferencetables. Can someone tell me what I can use to put the data (firstly just from one of the columns) from the first sheet called CPSA into a graph with date on the x-axis and sales on y-axis, like matplotlib in python, or another library/application?

I've tried using matplotlib to create a graph as a nice way to represent this data, but it didn't work as the sheet is too complex, so could someone tell me how to at least set it up? Also, would there be a way to model all the variables or would just one variable be more effective?
