QI Macros Allow You to Create Multiple Pareto Charts at Once
- To create two or more Pareto charts using the QI Macros, select one column of labels and two or more columns of data (e.g., E2:G14 below to compare Line 1 and Line 2):
- Click on the QI Macros Menu then Pareto Chart to draw both charts:
QI Macros will create a Pareto chart for each column of data you selected.
Before and After Pareto Charts Demonstrate Improvements
