Returns the Pearson correlation coefficient of two sets of data.
Syntax:
PEARSON(x; y)
- where x and y are ranges or arrays containing the two sets of data.
- Any text or empty entries are ignored.
- PEARSON calculates:
- Advanced topic:
- The parameters x and y are always evaluated as array formulas.
Example:
