Analysis ToolPak

The Analysis ToolPak is an Excel add-in program that provides data analysis tools for financial, statistical and engineering
data analysis.
To load the Analysis ToolPak add-in, execute the following steps.

1. On the File tab, click Options.

2. Under Add-ins, select Analysis ToolPak and click on the Go button.

3. Check Analysis ToolPak and click on OK.


4. On the Data tab, in the Analysis group, you can now click on Data Analysis.

The following dialog box below appears.

5. For example, select Histogram and click OK to create a Histogram in Excel.


Histogram
This example teaches you how to create a histogram in Excel.
1. First, enter the bin numbers (upper levels) in the range C3:C7.

2. On the Data tab, in the Analysis group, click Data Analysis.

Note: can't find the Data Analysis button? Click here to load the Analysis ToolPak add-in.
3. Select Histogram and click OK.
4. Select the range A2:A19.

5. Click in the Bin Range box and select the range C3:C7.

6. Click the Output Range option button, click in the Output Range box and select cell F3.

7. Check Chart Output.

8. Click OK.
9. Click the legend on the right side and press Delete.

10. Properly label your bins.

11. To remove the space between the bars, right click a bar, click Format Data Series and change the Gap Width to 0%.

12. To add borders, right click a bar, click Format Data Series, click the Fill & Line icon, click Border and select a color.

Result:
Correlation
The correlation coefficient (a value between -1 and +1) tells you how strongly two variables are related to each other. We can
use the CORREL function or the Analysis Toolpak add-in in Excel to find the correlation coefficient between two variables.
- A correlation coefficient of +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation. As variable X increases, variable Y increases. As
variable X decreases, variable Y decreases.

- A correlation coefficient of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation. As variable X increases, variable Z decreases. As
variable X decreases, variable Z increases.

- A correlation coefficient near 0 indicates no correlation.

To use the Analysis Toolpak add-in in Excel to quickly generate correlation coefficients between multiple variables, execute
the following steps.

1. On the Data tab, in the Analysis group, click Data Analysis.

2. Select Correlation and click OK.

3. For example, select the range A1:C6 as the Input Range.

4. Check Labels in first row.

5. Select cell A8 as the Output Range.

6. Click OK.
Result.

Conclusion: variables A and C are positively correlated (0.91). Variables A and B are not correlated (0.19). Variables B and
C are also not correlated (0.11) . You can verify these conclusions by looking at the graph.
