About Pareto Charts

A Pareto chart runs a second-order approximation and shows which factors have the largest impact on the result.

Creating Pareto Charts

The bars in the Pareto chart show the impact of each factor, with less impact as you move right along the chart. The total of each factor is measured on the Y-axis on the left. The line measures the cumulative total for each factor. You can select whether to show this as a percentage on the Y-axis to the right.
