To make a pareto chart, sort your data in descending order of the numerical
value (counts, instances, whatever), then make a column chart. If you want
the line showing cumulative amounts, in the next column use a formula to
construct a running sum*, add that to the chart (it will first be another
set of columns), select it, go to the Chart menu > Chart Type, and choose a
line type.

*for a running sum, suppose your labels are in cells A2:A10, your numbers
are in B2:B10. Select C2, enter this formula:

=sum(C$2:C2)

Copy this down to fill C2 through C8

For a description:

For a working Excel model that will plot your data
see the Pareto Plotter at this website:

Does that help?
