Hi

Does anyone know how to calculate an autocorrelation function in Excel?!

Thanks!

    • If your data is in A1:A10, then =CORREL(A1:A9,A2:A10) is the lag 1

      autocorrelation.

    • Thanks Jerry.

      To calculate higher lags can you just move the second range downwards, eg

      lag 2 =CORREL(A1:A9,A3:A11) ?

    • Yes, provided that A11 is empty. Otherwise use =CORREL(A1:A8,A3:A10).

      Note that the two offset arrays must be the same size.
