    solver problem

    I have 5 values of X and 5 values of Y, using these values of X and Y, single value Z has been calculated in Column C with the help of formula. Now i want to maximize Z value in column C using solver. How to select for multiple column.

    Ex: X Y Z= (n*sigma (XY)-(sigma X) (sigma Y)/[root of (n sigma X*X -(sigma X)*(sigma X)) * root of (n* sigma Y*Y - (sigma Y)* (sigma Y))]

    Please help.

    Maximize Z by changing what?

    Re: solver problem

    I know it is a month old, but last Friday's thread caused me to notice that the given formula is simply the Pearson correlation coefficient (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearso...on_coefficient ). Thus, yurttas's excellent formula could be rewritten as =PEARSON(B2:B5,C2:C5)
