Function name:
CORREL
Category:
Statistical Analysis
Summary:
Returns the correlation coefficient between two data sets.
Syntax:
CORREL(Data1; Data2)
Returns:
Returns a real value which is the correlation coefficient of values in Data1 and Data2. It returns a value in range [-1,1].
Arguments:
Data1 is a reference to a range of cells which is considered the first data set.
Data2 is a reference to a range of cells which is considered the second data set.
- If a cell contains text, logical values, or empty cells, then the function ignores these values.
- If Data1 and Data2 have different number of data points then the function returns an error value.
- If any of the arguments is empty, or if the standard deviation of their values equals zero, CORREL returns a division(#DIV/0!) error.
Additional details:
- The formula for CORREL is:
Correl(X,Y) =
where x̄ and ӯ are mean values.
- CORREL and PEARSON functions perform the same operation.
Examples:
Data1 | Data2 | |
---|---|---|
1 | 195 | 200 |
2 | 151 | 180 |
3 | 148 | 178 |
4 | 189 | 165 |
5 | 183 | 192 |
6 | 154 | 144 |
