The process of calculating the correlation coefficient in Google Sheets involves using the built-in function CORREL, which measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. This function takes two sets of data as input and returns a value between -1 and 1, where a value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, 0 indicates no correlation, and -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation. By following a simple set of steps, users can easily calculate the correlation coefficient in Google Sheets and analyze the relationship between their data sets.
CORREL
Calculates r, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient of a dataset.
Sample Usage
CORREL(A2:A100,B2:B100)
Syntax
CORREL(data_y, data_x)
data_y– The range representing the array or matrix of dependent data.data_x– The range representing the array or matrix of independent data.
Notes
