           Summary: BUSINESS: LibreOffice Calc needs a DROP-IN replacement
                    for Excel's way to present data (ODBC and MSQuery)
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master
         Component: Spreadsheet
           Product: LibreOffice

Hello,

A lot of businesses use heavily crafted Excel files (PivotTable reports) +
MSQuery functionality + ODBC drivers + some database engine (Oracle ?) to
extract and present business (sales) reports.

At version 4.0.1.2, LibreOfficemisses a DROP-IN replacement for such
functionality, making impossible to replace Excel with LibreOffice Calc in such
business applications:

- same speed in refreshing PivotTable data (user experience)
- same network usage efficiency while talking to the remote database server
(bandwith allocation)
- same ease in manipulating PivotTable reports (user experience)
- simple ways of formatting the dynamic part of the PivotTable (such as dates,
numbers, etc.)

Please provide such functionality in future versions, since it will affect a
large number of users and greatly expanf LibreOffie Calc's adoption in
businesses.
