In this post, we will see how a Pareto chart is a vital tool for the same, and how it can be easily created using the <a title=\"Dual Y-Axis Combination Chart\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/explore\/combination-charts-dual-y\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dual-Y Combination chart<\/a> in FusionCharts v3.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>The Situation<\/h2>\r\nYou are James Gordon. A lot of public property has been damaged and destroyed by some miscreants in Gotham city. As the police commissioner, you are under a lot of pressure from the residents to catch hold of them.\r\n\r\nSo you decide to prepare a report on the same, and then decide whom to tackle first. You have been able to collect the following data:\r\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"50%\"><strong>Miscreant<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">\r\n<div><strong>Damage done (USD)<\/strong><\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">Batman<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">\r\n<div>$400,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">Robin<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">\r\n<div>$250,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">Joker<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">\r\n<div>$150,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">Riddler<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">\r\n<div>$100,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">Mad Hatter<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">\r\n<div>$50,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">Stray Bats<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"50%\">\r\n<div>$50,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<h2>Bring in the savior<\/h2>\r\nThe Pareto chart plots the raw values in descending order using columns. As James Gordon, you already have the data arranged. We need to find out the cumulative percentages of the damage done, and then show that using a line chart on the secondary y-axis.\r\n\r\nSo we add one more column to the table showing the individual contributions to the damage done.\r\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\"><strong>Miscreant<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div><strong>Damage done (USD)<\/strong><\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div><strong>Individual Share <\/strong><\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Batman<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$450,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>45%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Robin<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$300,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>30%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Joker<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$100,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>10%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Riddler<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$80,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>8%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Mad Hatter<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$50,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>5%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Stray Bats<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$20,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>2%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\nNow let us convert the individual share to cumulative percentages.\r\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\"><strong>Miscreant<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div><strong>Damage done (USD)<\/strong><\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div><strong>Cumulative Share <\/strong><\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Batman<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$450,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>45%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Robin<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$300,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>75%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Joker<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$100,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>85%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Riddler<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$80,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>93%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Mad Hatter<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$50,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>98%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\">Stray Bats<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"150\">\r\n<div>$20,000<\/div><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"200\">\r\n<div>100%<\/div><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\nAnd now we are all ready to make our Pareto chart. As we said, the individual values will go on the column chart (primary Y-axis) and the cumulative percentage values on a line chart (secondary Y-axis).\r\n<p class=\"image-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset-image\" title=\"Pareto chart created using FusionCharts\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/images\/6a010534c80b99970c0120a51c05b1970b-800wi.jpg\" alt=\"Pareto chart created using FusionCharts\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\nAnyone who sees this Pareto chart will be easily able to see that Batman and Robin are causing almost 80% of the damage to the city, and should be the first ones to be taken care of.\r\n\r\nThe XML data used to generate this is easy to understand too:\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"lang:markup\">&lt;chart caption=\"\u201dDamages\" done=\"\" by=\"\" miscreants\u201d=\"\" numberprefix=\"\u201d$\u201d\" showvalues=\"\u201d0\u2033\" syaxismaxvalue=\"\u201d100\u2033\" snumbersuffix=\"\u201d%\u201d\" formatnumberscale=\"\u201d0\u2033\"&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;categories&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;\/categories&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;dataset&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;\/dataset&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;dataset parentyaxis=\"\u201dS\u201d\"&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;\/dataset&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;\/chart&gt;<\/pre>\r\n\r\nIf you do not feel very comfortable with the XML data above, you can take a look at the XML data format for Dual Y-Axis Combination Chart <a title=\"FusionCharts Dual Y-Axis Combination Chart XML Format\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/developers\/documentation\/Contents\/ChartSS\/Combi2DDY.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to feel more at ease.\r\n\r\nQuite clearly, the damages in dollars and in percentages have been input using 2 different data sets. Since the percentages should be displayed on the secondary Y-axis, <span>parentYAxis=&#8221;S&#8221;<\/span> has been set for the second data set. We have also assigned a maximum value for the secondary Y-Axis and a suffix for all the numbers using the <span>SYAxisMaxValue<\/span> and <span>SNumberSuffix<\/span> attributes respectively.\r\n<h2>Situation taken care of. Some more situations?<\/h2>\r\nThe example we just demonstrated is probably the most fictitious one ever taken up in FusionCharts history. There are a whole lot of real-life situations where the Pareto chart helps prioritize your workflow.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Quality control:<\/strong> In quality control, the Pareto chart is often used to identify the most common sources of defects, the highest occurring type of defect, or the most frequent reasons for customer complaints, etc.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>The 80-20 rule:<\/strong> The 80-20 rule is a common rule of thumb in business. Statements like \u201c80% of your sales comes from 20% of your clients\u201d or \u201c80% of your visitors check out only 20% of your website\u201d can easily be demonstrated using the Pareto chart.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nSo we just saw how you can easily create the Pareto chart using FusionCharts and it helps you identify what to devote most time and resources to.
