jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
start by typing in the given data into google spreadsheets
OpenStudy (bobobox):
okay
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
now in another blank empty cell, type
=CORREL(
then you can highlight each row one at a time
separate the rows by a comma

IT Doesnt work
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
do you have the numbers in row 1 spanning from B2 to K2 ?

This is what I have (see attached)
I then typed in the formula
=Correl( B2:K2, B1:K1)
into an empty cell
OpenStudy (bobobox):
oh you forgot the inside of the () thats why it didn't work
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
There are 2 chunks of data
the first group is B2:K2 which means "everything from B2 to K2"
the second group is B1:K1
