CORREL function

To use the CORREL function in both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, follow these steps:

1. Open Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel:
   • Go to Google Sheets in your web browser or open Microsoft Excel on your computer.
2. Select a Cell:
   • Click on the cell where you want the correlation coefficient to appear.
3. Enter the Formula:
   • In Google Sheets, type =CORREL( and then select the range of cells containing the first set of data.
   • In Microsoft Excel, type =CORREL( and then select the range of cells containing the first set of data, followed by a comma (,).
4. Select the Second Set of Data:
   • Continue typing the formula in Google Sheets by selecting the range of cells containing the second set of data.
   • In Microsoft Excel, select the range of cells containing the second set of data after the comma in the formula.
5. Close the Formula:
   • In both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, close the formula by typing ) and then press Enter.

Here’s an example of how the formula would look in Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel:

• Google Sheets: =CORREL(A1:A10, B1:B10) This calculates the correlation coefficient between the values in cells A1 to A10 and cells B1 to B10.
• Microsoft Excel:l =CORREL(A1:A10, B1:B10) This also calculates the correlation coefficient between the values in cells A1 to A10 and cells B1 to B10.

The result will be a number between -1 and 1, where:

• 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation,
• -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, and
• 0 indicates no correlation.
