How would I calculate these different things using excel. I need to find the monthly return, the average monthly return, the average annual return, the monthly standard deviation, and the annualized standard deviation. I then need to calculate the coefficient variation from the annualized returns and annualized deviations (CV column). I am using the adjusted closing price of a stock for 61 months (60 month calculation). I have recorded the adjusted closing price monthly. I have attached an example screenshot that includes a good chunk of the months, and am only interested in understanding what formulas to use.
