Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 85161
Datapilot painfully slow
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:13:47 UTC
We're using openoffice in a 200 clients business environment; we've to substitute the last and most specialized excel clients installations that uses heavily the pivot feature. Datapilot , compared to the same pivot table, takes 10 mins against few seconds of excel ; we've tried using the sheet as a base datasource with no results. In this way we must buy again other excel licenses..... ;(, cause there aren't alternatives.....
Can you post a test document that demonstrates the slowness? Without that, we won't even know where to start looking.

Yes, it is dog-slow. confirming the issue.
Generally, one can detect, that DataPilot is extra slow when the result contains a big number of columns and/or rows. Whereas, performance is not very much dependant on the size of the data source.
Hi all, I'm reassigning this issue to sc@, test@ is not the good owner. We have made some tests with 3.0 and the performance issue is still confirmed. Kind regards - Sophie
In general, the performance of datapilot depends largely on the number of unique field members, not necessarily on the size of the source data. Just FYI...
