Pareto Analysis

I want to be able to show a Pareto-style analysis of our customers, but at a high-level rather than having to show every customer as we would have to using Henric's solution here: Recipe for a Pareto Analysis – Revisited

I would simply like a metric showing what % of our revenue comes from the Top X% of our customers (say 20%, for example). The only solution I can think of is to rank each customer in the data load, however we want this metric to respond to user selections so don't want to pre-calculate anything.

Any suggestions?

This is a lot simpler then I imagined... Try this

='Top 20% of the Customers are worth ' & Num(Sum({<[Customer ID] = {"=Rank(Sum(Revenue)) < (Count(TOTAL DISTINCT [Customer ID])*0.20) + 1"}>}Revenue)/Sum(Revenue), '##.0%') & ' of total revenue'

you can use input box to take % from user store it into variable and use this variable in Top x%

Would you be able to share some data with the output you are expecting out of it? Also, I hope you are working with QV12.1 or above?

This is a (very) simplified version of the dataset:

London2ABC5£91

New York9ABC20£132
New York10ABC21£87
New York8ABC22£140
New York9ABC23£193
New York10ABC24£157

The steps to go through are basically rank the customers in order of their total revenue, then calculate the contribution each on makes to the overall revenue:

Customer IDTotal Revenue% ContributionCumulative Contribution
10£71023.0%23.0%
9£38912.6%35.5%
8£34411.1%46.7%
1£34111.0%57.7%
4£2949.5%67.2%
3£2628.5%75.7%
7£2046.6%82.3%
5£1956.3%88.6%
2£1785.8%94.3%
6£1765.7%100.0%
Grand Total£3,093

From there, I can now say the top 20% of customers (in this case just customers 9 and 10) contribute 35.5% of our revenue.

But, I also want this to react to user selections, so if we filter to just London orders, the data would look like this:

Customer IDTotal Revenue% ContributionCumulative Contribution
1£34119.3%19.3%
4£29416.6%35.9%
3£26214.8%50.7%
7£20411.5%62.2%
5£19511.0%73.2%
2£17810.1%83.3%
6£1769.9%93.2%
9£643.6%96.8%
8£563.2%100.0%
Grand Total£1,770

And, as we have over 300,000 customers, I don't want to show as a table/chart with a record for individual customers, but just a high level metric to say the top 20% of customers are worth Y% of total revenue.

Hope that helps!

Hi both,

How to realize below Pareto analysis?

Hi sunny ,

 

I tried to apply same expression in my Qlik sense app but it does not work for me. I have similar requirement, Only that I have to apply same pareto analysis on Parent_supplier_ID and need to count supplier whose contribution on total sales is 80%. 

I am currently using below expression for this calculation , which I created based on the Pareto analysis - revisited article. My below expression fails to include the parent_supplier_ID when the filter changes. 

count(distinct aggr(if(RangeSum(Above(SUM({<Period=,Date={">=01/01/2019<=30/06/2019"}>}SPEND_ACTUAL), 0, RowNo()))/sum( {<Period=,Date={">=01/01/2019<=30/06/2019"}>} TOTAL SPEND_ACTUAL)<=0.80,PARENT_SUPPLIER_ID),
(PARENT_SUPPLIER_ID,(=SUM({<Period=,Date={">=01/01/2019<=30/06/2019"}>}SPEND_ACTUAL),Desc))))

This expression fails when I select period in Period Filter. It only calculates the aggregated spend % for that selected Period while as per the expression , it should avoid the period filter and only filter on date . 

Please suggest the fix for this issue or if there any other way to perform the same analysis without aggr() function it self.

thank you in advance.
