Mastering Tableau 2018.1, Second Edition 8.5: Creating Pareto Charts in Tableau

The video tutorial explains how to create and interpret a Pareto chart using Tableau. It begins with an introduction to the Pareto chart and the 80/20 rule, which states that 20% of elements contribute to 80% of the results. The tutorial then provides a step-by-step guide to creating a Pareto chart in Tableau, including sorting data, duplicating sales values, and applying table calculations. The video concludes with finalizing the chart and interpreting the results, highlighting the importance of understanding data distribution and identifying key contributors to sales or revenue.
