Hi All,

Here is my issue
1) I have monthly market data for a commodity
2) I want to calculate the annual volatility

Which according to few = STDEV ( LN (returns) * SQRT (?)
(wondering if it will be 12 or 252 since i have monthly data).

Anyhoo, here is the excel challenge.
I want to calculate this is in one cell without populating column for log normal returns.
Please let me know if any way if this can be achieved.

Thank you
Jishnu

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
