Two ways...

1) Go to <Tools> <Data Anlaysis> and then select
<Regression>. Then follow the steps to input your a nd y
values and then the read out will give you a pearson r
value and a means to construct the equation of the
regression line aswell as some other interesting stats.
Ordinarily the <Data Analysis> toolpak is not added into
Excel. You need to add this in.

2) Plot your data (best in scatter graph) and then right-
click and select <Add trendline...>. Here select <Linear>
and on the other tab select <Display Equation On Chart>
and <Display R-Squared Value On Chart>. this will give
you the basics.

Alternatively if you want to use the results in formulae it might b
easier to use
=slope(known y's, known x's)
and
=intercept(known y's, known x's

In addition to the preceding suggestions, you can use LINEST() or
LOGEST() if you mean something other than simple linear regression.
