I recommend the function autocorr , but you need the Econometrics toolbox for that. The alternative is the function corr .

First of all thanks for your activity, Well I tried both of them but that does not work, answers are incorrect. any idea?
Are you sure that the functions give incorrect answers? In general the error lies with the person who thinks that the functions don't work, and not with the functions. What makes you believe the functions give incorrect answers? What are the results? And what does the input data look like?
well I did it in excel at university and it was correct after that i wanted to do it in matlab and tried all the functions but the answers were incorrect
