The value in cell B2 has the value of 1 because the correlation of data from “ONEQ close” is perfectly correlated with itself. The tool outputs a numerical value of 1 if the data is perfectly correlated. The headings in cells B1, C1, A2 and A3, are simply taken from the labels in the first row of the input data. The Correlation matrix will be placed on a new Sheet: And, if not already selected, click on the radio button “New Worksheet Ply” (Ply just means a layer or unit). For this example, the range is from B3 to C256 (Excel will use absolute referencing, i.e., a $ will be placed before both the column and row reference):Īlso, for this example, click on “Labels in First Row” since we have included the field headings with the data selection. Then click and drag (or click then shift click) over the data. If you prefer to highlight the range with the mouse, first click on the expand button for the Input Range In the resulting dialog box, select Correlation, then OKįor the Input Range simply type in the range (such as, B3:C256). To Run the Correlation Command, click inside the data sheet, then in the Data Tab click the Data Analysis command: Data -> Data Analysis Here is a sample of the first few and the last few lines of the example file of the data for one year (as well as a simple line graph of the data): (Data for Fidelity® Nasdaq Composite Tr Stk ETF (ONEQ) and SPDR® Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA from: Data for the Example: For illustration purposes we are using the daily closing price data from the exchange traded funds ONEQ and DIA as proxy for the indexes. A value of 1 indicates a positive correlation, a value of 0 indicates no correlation, and a value of -1 means there is a negative correlation.įor this example, we are going to use data from two stock market indexes: NASDAQ Composite Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Excel uses the Pearson function to calculate the correlation, which will return a value between 1 and -1. Once the Data Analysis tool box has been enabled, the correlation tool is ready to use.Ī Correlation is an indication as to whether there is a relationship between two data. Now on the Data Tab there will be a new command “Data Analysis”: Next click on the “Manage:” menu select Excel Add-ins then press GoĬlick on the Analysis ToolPak check box, and click on OK Here is a Step-by-Step to Enabling Analysis ToolPak:

In this articular we are going to look at how to use the correlation tool in the Analysis ToolPak. Excel’s AnalysisToolPak offer a variety of routines for analyzing statistical, scientific and engineering data.
