Nige,

Not directly, but with some ingenuity, you should be able to make a Pareto Chart in Numbers. It will be a combination of two chart types, Column and Line, and you will have to add the right axis numbers manually. Combining two chart types is done by making the charts separately and then overlaying them.

Thanks Jerry...actually before I saw your posts I downloaded OpenOffice 3.0 which has this chart type built in...and it's free, whereas iWork will cost me £55!

Thanks for you help though.
