Hi,

 

I have a very large list of products and their associated sales.

 

The large list of products is making my workbook very unresponsive.

 

Is it possible to create a filter that cuts off the Pareto chart at the 80/20 cutoff?

 

Thanks

    John,

     

    I'm not sure if this is quite what your looking for,

    but maybe it can give ideas.

     

    I created the Pareto in the standard way using

    a quick calc of running sum and then the secondary calc of percent of total.

    Of note, I just did the 80% of sales part. I'm not sure how you want to

    filter the 20% of products part.

     

    I think drug that table calculation pill to the measures pane and a new calculated field was created:

    RUNNING_SUM(SUM([Sales])) / TOTAL(SUM([Sales]))

     

    I  then created a filter field of:

    [Running Percent]<=.8

     

    and put that on the filter shelf.

     

    Please see workbook v10.5 attached in the Forum Thread:

    Filtering Pareto chart to retain just the 20% of products that make up the 80% of sales

     

    John, I'm not sure if this is quite what your looking for,but maybe it can give ideas.
