           Summary: Make Pivot Table much faster: Data fields should be at

Created attachment 97954

a ods file which shows how pivot should be like to make it much faster and
useful

Just see my attached 10000-row example. Try to add one more data field, you
will see that calc takes a long time to draw the data.

Currently when you insert a pivot table, data fields are placed at rows. This
makes pivot table freeze and useless in large spreadsheet files which contain a
large amount of rows. 
For example, for a pivot table with 10000 rows in the row field, when you add 2
data fields you get 20000 rows, when add 3 data field you get 30000 rows....

The most importantly, "data fields at rows" is not good for data analysis. I
guess very few people like this layout. The good layout of pivot table should
be like this:
