How to use it
- Two columns: categories and counts (or amounts); no need to sort first.
- Bars are sorted largest first, the line is the cumulative percentage and darker bars are the vital few up to the cutoff.
- The categories to tackle first are listed below the chart, ready for a quality report.

Frequently asked questions
How do I bring in data from Excel?
Select the range including headers in Excel, WPS or Google Sheets, copy and paste it into the data box; tabs are detected automatically, and CSV or comma- or semicolon-separated text works too. Thousands separators, currency symbols and percent signs are removed.
Is there a watermark? Can I put it in PowerPoint?
No watermark. PNG exports at twice the chosen size and SVG is vector, so both stay sharp in PowerPoint, Word or print; you can also copy the image and paste it directly.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Data is parsed and drawn in your browser. A share link carries the data after the # in the URL, which is never sent to the server; only people with the link can see it.
How do I read a Pareto chart?
Bars are sorted largest first and the line is the cumulative percentage. The categories before the line crosses 80 % are the vital few; fixing them usually removes most of the problem. You can move the cutoff to 70 % or 90 %.
