            Bug ID: 131654
           Summary: Provide a live preview of changes when creating or
                    editing a pivot table
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nekohayo at gmail.com

Just like it is possible to have a preview reflecting the changes of various
properties when we are creating a chart, it would be great (and much less
intimidating for users) if LibreOffice Calc, like Excel, provided a live
preview of the pivot table while you moving various things into the "Page
Fields:", "Column Fields:", "Row Fields:" and "Data Fields:" areas of the
"Pivot Table Layout" dialog.

Corollary: for the case where we are creating (rather than modifying) a pivot
table, and where the pivot table's destination would be a new sheet, it could
make sense for the "Source and Destination" settings to be a wizard/dialog that
show before the Pivot Table Layout dialog, then making it so that the Pivot
Table Layout dialog "does one thing and does it well" (editing an existing
pivot table's properties).
