Added from Insert on the editor’s rail; configure it in Card settings, in its Data and Format tabs.

Bars sorted biggest-first with a cumulative-percentage line climbing over them — the 80/20 chart. It answers “how few categories account for most of the total?” at a glance: read across the line to find where it crosses 80%.

Click a field in the Fields list, or drop it on the chart, and it goes to the well that fits it — see where a field goes. To choose the well yourself, drop the field on it or use its + Add field.
