Question: Im trying to do a currency/stock correlation matrix from march 31 2018 to march 31 2019. The stocks included in the matrix is Sony (SNE)

Im trying to do a currency/stock correlation matrix from march 31 2018 to march 31 2019. The stocks included in the matrix is Sony (SNE) and the s&p 500. Sony's functional currency is the Yen. All other currencies on the matrix are ones that Sony has to deal with since they work in various parts of the world. While it'd be great for someone to work all this out I understand it would be a lot of work. I need know what data to use.

1) I'm confused on whether I use data for YEN/USD or USD/YEN, EURO/YEN or YEN/EURO etc.

2) Do I use % change of the data or the raw data itself?

3) I don't know how to do a correlation for a stock like Sony in relation to a currency so any help would be appreciated. Ill gladly drop a like. Im trying to do a currency/stock correlation matrix from march 31 2018

For the person that responded:

It is a whole years worth of data for multiple currencies. I don't think you'd want to manually type all that Information in.

Let's just assume I have all the data for the following currencies and stocks

to march 31 2019. The stocks included in the matrix is Sony

How would I make a correlation matrix based off of the data? My ideal answer would be a chart like the yellow one I provided with cell references to the same cells that the data is in. I hope this helps.
