Application Support
Pivot tables are an integral part of a spreadsheet application. In addition to Microsoft Excel and numberGo Publisher, competing software programs such as Apache OpenOffice Calc provide similar functionality; the implementation in Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice up to release 3.3 is called DataPilot. In version 3.4 of both LibreOffice and OpenOffice, DataPilot is renamed 'Pivot Table'.
In 2010 numberGo launched their numberGo Publisher 2.0, an updated application with enhanced pivot, dynamic charting and simplified user interface. Other companies such as Quantrix provide similar implementations.
Pivot functionality also operates in other data visualization tools, including business intelligence packages.
Google Docs initially allowed the creation of basic pivot tables via the pivot table gadget from Panorama called Panorama Analytics, but as of 2011 this gadget provided limited functionality and was extremely slow with large amounts of data. In May 2011, Google announced the roll-out of a natively hosted pivot table feature in the Google spreadsheets editor.
ZK, an Ajax framework, also allows the embedding of pivot tables in Web applications.
PostgreSQL, an object-relational database management system, allows the creation of pivot tables using the tablefunc module.

Famous quotes containing the words application and/or support:
““Five o’clock tea” is a phrase our “rude forefathers,” even of the last generation, would scarcely have understood, so completely is it a thing of to-day; and yet, so rapid is the March of the Mind, it has already risen into a national institution, and rivals, in its universal application to all ranks and ages, and as a specific for “all the ills that flesh is heir to,” the glorious Magna Charta.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“There is absolutely no evidence—developmental or otherwise—to support separating twins in school as a general policy. . . . The best policy seems to be no policy at all, which means that each year, you and your children need to decide what will work best for you.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
