For detailed steps, you may refer to the previous blog.Īfter we get the results, we need to proceed to check the some values of the outcome in the following manner – Choose the dependent variable in the Y-Range and choose both the independent variables for the X-Range. There are many ways of doing regression as described in detail in the previous blog, we shall do it using Data Analysis of Excel as it takes lesser time.

How to do Multiple Linear Regression in Excel Independent Variables – (i) Price per box and (ii) Discount on selling price given to retailers for that deal. The data is present in the working file.ĭependent Variable – Soap Cartoon, the no of boxes of soaps sold.
Joe the sales representative gives the detail of the 15 deals done by him with retailers of his area to his boss. For better understanding and better understanding of the subject we will go with one dependent and two independent variables. We consider them in the form of variables which may affect in large extent or less or may be have no effect on the dependent variable. Companies send their sales representatives to the retailer for sales, and the decisions are made by the retailers on many decisions such as price offered, commission or discount given on the sales values, rent or shelf space fees, insurance against any defective goods, inventory and many. In the last example we saw sales of soaps, but in real life such kind of sales does not happen in retail FMCG space. We will learn Multiple Linear Regression here. In this blog you will see how to do regression when there is more than one independent variable. All these were done for univariate linear regression, one dependent and one independent variable. In the previous blog you have seen how regression is done, what are the important terminologies, their interpretation, making model and how to use the models for prediction. We will also see how to predict with more than one variable. Example – in the last blog of regression we have seen the affect of price on sales of soaps, here we will see that how sales is affected by price and other variables like discount. Multiple Linear Regression or MLR is as extension of Linear Regression or Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method of forming a model within several variables, and used to predict the outcome.
