    Correlation between variables in an array containing text, and another array

    Hi there,

    I'm struggling to write a function that finds the correlation between the variables in one array that contain the word "male" (specifically column H:H) and the variables in another array (specifically B:B) that correspond to the male criteria. In laymens terms, I'm trying to find the correlation between gender and how high a person's score is. My excel sheet is attached.

    Any help is so so appreciated!!!

    Re: Correlation between variables in an array containing text, and another array

    I thought a correlation was between two variables that can have different values. Something like "if I increase x, how much does y increase?". Using correl on a variable that can only have two values (gender) doesn't really makes sense to me. Maybe I am missunderstanding the whole concept.
