Background (which you may already know. . .):

The pivot table is for  creating a cross tabulated summary, possibly in three 
dimensions (using the page element).

The word pivot signifies a central point that an element rotates around. 

My conclusion:
If "pivot" (any form of the word) is used in Hebrew and has a similar 
connotation (or if other software titles use it, so it is commonly used in 
computing contexts), it is perhaps best to go with that. 
If not, your suggestion of "summary table" is certainly adequate. I don't know 
Hebrew, so beyond the background fragments above there is nothing more I can 
contribute.

translations of "pivot table" as "טבלת-סיכום"
(literally: summary-table). replacing the old term – "טבלת אשף הנתונים"
(lit.: data-wizard table) – which is confusing, TMHO.

I'm open to more suggestions.
