Coefficient of Variance (CoV) is a non-dimensional value calculated by dividing the Standard Deviation of a data set by the algebraic mean (or Average) of the same dataset. Thus CoV = STDEV/AVERAGE. So, in Excel, at the bottom of a column of numbers representing your data set, say in cells B39 to B58, make cell B60 = AVERAGE(B39:B58), B61 = STDEV(B39:B58) and B62 = B61/B60. CoV is frequently expressed as a percentage, so B62 could be = 100*B61/B60

How can I calculate portfolio variance in Excel?

To calculate portfolio variance in Excel, you can use the formula SUMPRODUCT(COVARIANCE.S(array1,array2),array1,array2), where array1 and array2 are the returns of the individual assets in your portfolio. This formula takes into account the covariance between the assets and their individual variances to calculate the overall portfolio variance.

How do you calculate variance covariance matrix for daily market prices of stock in excel?

To calculate the variance-covariance matrix for daily market prices of stocks in Excel, first, gather the daily prices of the stocks in a spreadsheet. Convert these prices into daily returns by using the formula: ( \text{Return} = \frac{\text{Price Today} - \text{Price Yesterday}}{\text{Price Yesterday}} ) for each stock. Once you have the daily returns, use the Excel function =COVARIANCE.P(array1, array2) to calculate the covariances between each pair of stock returns, and =VAR.P(array) for the variances of individual stock returns. Finally, organize these values into a matrix format to represent the variance-covariance matrix.
