    hi Ryan, first of all thanks for all these videos I'm an Italian finance student and I often find your videos much more interesting than the courses I'm studying. I would like to ask you if you have any advises on how to resolve this excel error, trying to build the covariance matrix excel says "Input range must be contiguous". I've copied your whole layout so i really don't understand. Thanks!!
