Question

How do you find the linear correlation coefficient on Excel?

Answer 1

Use =CORREL( , ) (actually, this works in Google Sheets as well)

Explanation:

If you have a list of `x`-values in say, cells A1 through A10, and a corresponding list of `y`-values in cells B1 through B10, then entering the following into another cell will give you the linear correlation coefficient:

=CORREL(A1:A10,B1:B10)
