Pareto Chart Maker
Just paste your "label,value" data to instantly build a Pareto chart: bars sorted from largest to smallest with a cumulative-share line on top. It also shows a share/cumulative table and an 80% line so the few items that matter most stand out at a glance.
Input
Item data (one "label,value" per line; separate items with line breaks)
Items detected: 6 (rows with unreadable or negative values are excluded)
Result
Vital few: items covering 80% of the total
3items
The top 3 items (out of 6) bring the cumulative share to 80%.
Total
114
Item count
6 items
Top item "Scratches"
45.6%

Breakdown by item
| Rank | Item | Value | Share | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scratches | 52 | 45.6% | 45.6% |
| 2 | Stains | 28 | 24.6% | 70.2% |
| 3 | Wrong size | 15 | 13.2% | 83.3% |
| 4 | Deformation | 9 | 7.9% | 91.2% |
| 5 | Foreign matter | 6 | 5.3% | 96.5% |
| 6 | Other | 4 | 3.5% | 100.0% |
| Total | 114 | 100.0% | — | |
How it works
- Enter item names and values in "label,value" format, one per line (e.g. Scratches,52). Separate items with line breaks; commas, full-width commas, and tabs all work as delimiters.
- Rows whose value can't be read as a number, and rows with negative values, are excluded automatically. If you omit the label, sequential names like "Item 1" and "Item 2" are assigned.
- Your data is sorted from largest to smallest value and shown as a bar chart (left axis: each item's value) overlaid with a cumulative-share line (right axis: percentage).
- Share is "this item's value ÷ overall total", and cumulative share is the running total of shares from largest to smallest. The top items that reach 80% cumulative share are your priority targets (the vital few).
- The orange dashed line marks the 80% cumulative-share level. Focusing on the items up to where the line crosses it lets you improve the bulk of the whole efficiently.
- Useful whenever you want to decide where to focus: QC defect-cause analysis, breaking down sales or complaint counts, ABC inventory analysis, and more.
