Pareto chart, bars in the same scale of the percentages

[jose.costa]

Hello,

 

I have a doubt about the Pareto chart.

In the Pareto chart, we have two Y axes, the first for the bar values and the second for the percentages.

Today when I use the Pareto, I see the bars following the proportion of the first axis. I would like to change it, so the bars would be following the proportion of the second axis (the percentage axis).

If I could do this, in a little example, if the first bar represents 40% of the total, this bar would be in the same horizontal line of the 40% in the percentage axis, today it doesn't happen. Is there a way I could do this?

 

The first image show what I can do now, and the second is what I would like to do.

I did the second image with FusionCharts, but I had to do it using the Dual Y chart, if I could do it with Pareto would be much better.

 

Thank you for any help.

Hi,

 

Please note that in Pareto chart, the values are represented by columns, which are arranged in descending order of magnitude, and the cumulative total of these values is shown by an upward curving line. Ideally, Pareto charts are used for isolating the key causes of a problem. However, they can also be used for determining the key factors of success.

 

The left vertical axis (primary axis) shows frequency of occurrence, but it can alternatively represent cost or another important unit of measure. The right vertical axis (secondary axis) shows the cumulative percentage of the total number of occurrences, total cost, or total of the particular unit of measure.

 

So, if you would like to plot the columns against secondary Y-Axis scale (in percentage), we would suggest you to use the combination Dual Y-Axis charts, which already you are using.

 

Hope I am able to clarify myself.
