For the benefit of new users like me, here is how I created my first Pareto Chart using SASUE Sudio: I have used example given in the book - Statistical Methods for Quality Improvement by Hitoshi Kume. Table 3.2, Page 20. Step1: Created XL file with the following columns: Type of Defects|Number of Defects|Percentage of Defects|Cumulative Percentage Step 2: Sort the table in ascending order of Number of defects (As shown in the picture) Step 3: Import the xl to SASUE. From the table select the column names for graph as shown: As you see, I have chosen, Type_of_Defect| Number_of_Defects|Cumulative_Percentage column names. Step 4: Go to Tasks and Utilities Step 5: Select Bar-Line Chart Step 6: Select Category variable as Type_of_Defect field Step 7: Select Bar Response variable as Number_of_Defects field Step 8: Select Line Response variable as Cumulative_Percentage Run the program. With little tweaking of chart options, we get Pareto chart output. For your use, data file enclosed. Since I am also a new user of SAS University, I welcome comments, suggestions for improvements from experienced forum members. I will require some help in changing "Number of defects" axis, where I want to show total number of defects. Here is the output from XL chart: Hope this helps! Kind regards, Niranjana
