Calculation of Correlation

Hello,

I wanted to Calculate Correlation of my Table. My Data has 3 Columns , Party, Rate & Qty.  Which is shown below. I wanted to write an expression to calculate correlation with Rate & Qty. but for all Party separately and also for only Unique Rate i.e. if for A party 100 rate is used for 3 times than in correlation it mus take 100 once but take qty. as sum of all 3 times i.e. 157 MT in this case. 

PartyRateQty.
A10055
B20045
C30040
A20048
B30046
C10042
A10051
B30044
C20039
A30042
B10044
C20039
A10051
B20044
C30039
A20051
B30044
C20039

 

If i make a straight table and calculate Correlation with Correl Function i.e. Correl(Qty.,Rate) i get -0.87885 for Party A 

which is calculated as follows:

PartyRateQty.
A10055
A20048
A10051
A30042
A10051
A20051
  298
  -0.87885

 

But i wanted Correlation for to Consider Distinct Rate with sum of Qty. at Distinct rate. The Answer which i want is -0.999987. The Excel Sample is below :

PartyRateQty.
A100157
A20099
A30042
  298
   
  -0.999987

 

I tried every thing but could not achieve this. Please help me with this.

Thanks & Regards,

Ashish

try below expression with Part & Rate as a dimension

=Correl(total <Party>Rate,aggr(sum([Qty.]),Party,Rate))
