Description
See it in action
Focus your effort where it counts. Record each occurrence of a problem — a complaint, defect, delay, incident or return — with its category, date, area and cost. The Pareto Analysis counts and sorts every category from biggest to smallest, works out each one’s share and the cumulative %, draws the classic Pareto chart and highlights the ‘vital few’ that make up 80% of the total.
What it does
- Pareto chart – bars sorted largest first with a cumulative % line on a 0–100% axis
- Automatic sorting – no manual sorting or pivot tables — the table re-ranks itself as you add data
- Vital few – categories inside your cut-off (80% by default) highlighted to tackle first
- Count or cost – switch between number of occurrences and total cost
- Filters – by area and by date range
- Occurrence log – 1,000 rows with category and area dropdowns
- Protected formulas – calculations are locked and hidden so nothing breaks by accident

Quality managers, operations and customer service teams, Lean and Six Sigma practitioners, and anyone doing root-cause analysis.
