### Pareto Variable Chart

This chart type requires the selection of Feature Variables or Dimension Variables. If the Feature list or Dimension list is displayed in the side bar, this chart icon will be grayed out. Access the Feature Variable or Dimension Variable list in the side bar, and apply some features to the tabbed window to display this chart type.

The Variable Pareto Chart reports out of tolerance measurements in a worst-to-best order histogram for the variables you selected. Above the histogram, a graph of the cumulative percentage of defects will display.

By default, the Variable Pareto Chart is sorted by variable. For each variable, a bar will display that represents the variable’s percentage of out of tolerance measurements in relation to the total percent of out of tolerance measurements for all of the selected variables. Across the bottom of the chart, each bar is labeled with the variable name and the number of out of tolerance measurements/total number of measurements for that variable.

Configuring the Pareto Chart

After you have created one, you can configure the Pareto Chart so that it is sorted by trace field rather than variable. See "Chart Display - Pareto Chart" for complete instructions.
