<h1>COVARIANCE.P Function</h1>
<p>The <b>COVARIANCE.P</b> function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return population covariance, the average of the products of deviations for each data point pair in two data sets; use covariance to determine the relationship between two data sets.</p>
<p>The <b>COVARIANCE.P</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>COVARIANCE.P(array-1, array-2)</em></b></p>
<p>where <b><em>array-1(2)</em></b> is the selected range of cells with the same number of elements.</p>
<p class="note"><b>Note:</b> if <b><em>array-1(2)</em></b> contains text, logical values, or empty cells, the function will ignore those values, but treat the cells with the zero values.</p>
