Conclusion
Regression analysis is a set of statistical methods used for the estimation of relationships between a dependent variable and independent
variables. We can use it to assess the strength of the relationship between variables and for modeling the future relationship between them.

In Excel, we use regression analysis to estimate the relationships between two or more variables. There are two basic terms that you need to be
familiar with:
The Independent Variable is the factor that might influence the dependent variable.
Consider the following data where we have a number of COVID cases and masks sold in a particular month.
Select the Input Y Range as the number of masks sold and Input X Range as COVID cases. Check the residuals and click OK.

Let us now understand the meaning of each of the terms in the output. We will divide the output into four major parts for our understanding.
Summary Output
The summary output tells you how well the calculated linear regression equation fits your data source.
The Multiple R is the Correlation Coefficient that measures the strength of a linear relationship between two variables. The larger the absolute value,
the stronger is the relationship.
R Square signifies the Coefficient of Determination, which shows the goodness of fit. It shows how many points fall on the regression line. In our
example, the value of R square is 0.96, which is an excellent fit. In other words, 96% of the dependent variables (y-values) are explained by the
independent variables (x-values).
Adjusted R Square is the modified version of R square that adjusts for predictors that are not significant to the regression model.

Standard Error is another goodness-of-fit measure that shows the precision of your regression analysis.
ANOVA
ANOVA stands for Analysis of Variance. It gives information about the levels of variability within your regression model.
SS is the sum of squares. The smaller the Residual SS viz a viz the Total SS, the better the fitment of your model with the data.
MS is the mean square.
F is the F statistic or F-test for the null hypothesis. It is very effectively used to test the overall model significance.

You can quickly visualize the relationship between the two variables by creating a graph. To create a linear regression graph, follow these steps:
Select the two variable columns of your data, including the headers.
Now to add the trend line, right-click on any point and select Add Trend line.
