Pareto Select Using Multiple fields...

I'm not even sure if this can be done, but I figured if anyone knew how, it would be this group.  I have a button that performs a pareto select based on Vendor and Spend to find the top 80% of spend by Vendor.  However, I also have a category field and I'd like to be able to perform the pareto in order to find the Top 80% of spend, by supplier, per Category.  Is there a way to add the category field into the mix, either through the field and/or expression, to force it to group by the category first, perform the 80% selection and then go to the next category and so on...?

If you create another field as a combination of Suppler and Category, then you can use the new field to get the 80% of spend by Supplier and Category.

On the other hand, if you wanted to apply your Pareto Selections separately, you could have 2 buttons - one for Supplier Pareto Select, and another one for Categories Pareto select. Then, the result will be someting like this:

"What Categories make up 80% of spend within the population of Suppliers that account of the 80% of the total spend?"
