Frequently asked questions
This page downloads WPS Office. Features vary by platform, version and plan.
Does Pareto analysis prove the causes of a problem?
No. It shows where the measured volume is concentrated. Verify root causes separately before changing a process.
What is included in the pareto analysis starter?
An original editable XLSX example with issue category, cases, cumulative cases, cumulative share and task instructions. The starter includes a ranked bar chart and cumulative-share table. Add a secondary-axis cumulative line in WPS if you need the classic combination layout.
Where do I edit the workbook?
Download the starter and open it in WPS Spreadsheets. Editing happens in the app; this page does not process or upload your workbook. Save an XLSX copy to keep working, or export a reviewed view as PDF.
What happens when I select the download button?
On Windows or macOS, WPS starts the app download. On Linux, copy the installation command or choose a manual package. On iPhone, iPad, Android or Chromebook, continue to the appropriate app store. This page does not upload, convert or edit your files.
