Regression in Excel is a way to automate the statistical process of comparing different sets of information to see how changes in independent variables affect changes in dependent variables. If you've ever wanted to find a correlation between two things, using regression analysis in Excel is one of the best ways to do it.
How to Perform Linear Regression in Excel
Regression is a statistical modeling method that analysts use to determine relationships between multiple variables.
Regression analysis starts with a single variable that you are trying to analyze and independent variables that you are testing to see if they affect that single variable. The analysis looks at changes in the independent variables and tries to correlate those changes with resulting changes in the single (dependent) variable.
This may sound like advanced statistics, but with Excel this complex analysis is available to everyone.
