Yes, Chart is the only Insert item dealing with existing data (when thinking
about that, it would work in Data for me as well;) - but it inserts a new
complex object controlled by completely different menus and toolbars. Pivot
table is represented only by cells and filters - hence I would see it as
something really close to filters.

Maybe the duplicity is suboptimal, but surely better than the current state.
Thanks, Jay!

(Similarly to Cor's experience, my suggestion was inspired by a frustrated user
who started to use AOO because he thought that LO contained a bug preventing
creating pivot tables.)
