# Pareto chart

A Pareto chart is a type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph, where individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the line represents the cumulative average.

* **Best Situation to Use a Pareto Chart:** To identify the most frequent defects, complaints, or any other factor that the users can count and categorize to focus on where improvement efforts make the most impact.
* **Variation of this Chart**: Pareto Pyramid, Paired Pareto chart
