So I placed evenly spread numbers in Axis X label, and random numbers in Axis Y label.
Correlation shows a strong relation for Axis x, (the number 1) which is understandable as the numbers in that column are all even numbers from 2 to 40
Correlation shows a weak relation for Axis Y, (the number 0.53) which is understandable as the numbers are very random from a -10 to 40
my question, is what is the loan number of "1" by itself (next column over from 0.53)?

Thanks for the help

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
It is showing that the correlation of X to Y is 0.53. The correlation of X to X is 1 and the correlation of Y to Y is 1. Anything correlated to it self is going to be 1.
