Making a Pareto graph readable

I'm trying to figure out what percent of my assets cause what percent of my incidents. I have 1732 assets and 5712 incidents. I've created this table, and just by brute force I can figure that 45% of my assets cause 76% of my incidents.

 

 

But the graphic created from it is hardly readable:

 

 

Having 1732 separate columns is no good!  How can I consolidate this chart? Could I group every 50 columns into a single column? Am I going about this the wrong way?

    You could create a visual showing top 25%, 50%, 75% of incidents with % of assets. 

    can you share some sample data or PBIX file (via a file sharing service)?

    Hi, ReadTheIron ;

    Try it.

    percent1 = DIVIDE(SUM([IncidentsMeasure]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[IncidentsMeasure]),ALL('Table')))
    percent2 = 
    VAR _RATE=[percent1]
    RETURN CALCULATE([percent1],FILTER(ALL('Table'),[percent1]>=_RATE))

    The final show:

      I can't write this part of the measure:

      (SUM('Table'[IncidentsMeasure])

       IncidentsMeasure is a measure not a column in a table.
