A quick word about PowerPoint Pareto Charts:
A Pareto Chart helps you identify ‘significant contributors’ to an outcome, among the various contributors considered. Let us take an example to understand the chart type better.
The following Pareto chart helps you analyze typical nature of customer complaints received in a month. We consider 8 common reasons for complaints here:
The blue columns indicate the count for different types of customer complaints. For example, there are 25 complaints received from customers citing ‘Reason 1’. The columns are typically arranged in descending order. The vertical axis on the left helps you read the counts.
The red line indicates cumulative percentage contribution of the counts to the total. For example, in the above chart, the top four reasons contribute to around 80% of the total number of complaints received.
The vertical axis on the right helps you read cumulative percentage values.
The black horizontal line indicates benchmark value. In this case, the benchmark value is 80%. You can set the benchmark % to suit your specific need.
Thus, a Pareto chart helps you prioritize your actions by identifying the ‘significant few’ that make a big difference. The chart is a useful business tool.
Why create readymade PowerPoint template for the chart?
Pareto chart is not a native chart type in Excel or PowerPoint. That means you need to construct the chart from the scratch every time you need one.
Since it takes a lot of time and effort to create the chart from ground up, it makes sense to create a readymade template in PowerPoint for the chart. To edit the chart, you just need to Right click and go to Edit data. When you replace sample values with your own values, the chart updates itself automatically.
Creating complex charts has never been easier and faster.
