    Correlation Coefficient of zero

    Why do I get '0' as a correlation coefficient for the following data sets, Set A and Set B? Is it correct? Where am I wrong?

    Re: Correlation Coefficient of zero

    It's correct.

    In E3 and copy down, =(B3 - AVERAGE($B$3:$B$12)) * (C3 - AVERAGE(C$3:C$12))

    The total of those values in the numerator of the CORREL function, and it's zero.
