The correlation coefficient (a value between -1 and +1) means how strongly two variables are related to each other. You can use the CORREL function or the Data Statistics to find the correlation coefficient between two variables.

A correlation coefficient of +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation.

A correlation coefficient of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation
