Excel CORREL function
The CORREL function returns the correlation coefficient of two cell ranges, which can be used to determine the relationship between two properties.
The CORREL Function VS. the PEARSON Function
The CORREL function performs the same calculation as the PEARSON function. If you are using Excel 2003 and earlier versions, the CORREL function is more recommended, because the PEARSON function may exhibit some rounding errors.
Syntax
=CORREL(array1, array2)
Arguments
Remarks
is the sample mean of array1;
is the sample mean of array2.Return value
It returns a numeric value between -1 and 1.
Example
As shown in the screenshot below, there are two sets of data, 2020 and 2021. To calculate the correlation coefficient of these two cell ranges, you need to do as follows.
Select a cell, for example D19, enter the formula below and press the Enter key to get the result.
=CORREL(C6:C17,D6:D17)
Here you get the result 0.684448164, which means that there is a strong positive correlation between the given two sets of values.
