After analyzing survey information, you decide to create a Pareto chart to see which types of recreational programs and company-sponsored classes generated the most interest. First, create a spreadsheet in Excel using the data in the following table. List the most frequently requested programs or classes first. Use the Excel template called pareto_chart.xls on the text’s companion Web site and check your entries so the resulting chart looks similar to the one in Figure 8-7. See the companion Web site for help in creating Pareto charts.
