Re: Sum() function

["Steve Muench" <smuench at us dot oracle dot com>]

I think you must just have ill-formed XML. Your
stylesheet looks ok.

Given:

<report>
  <tranxs>
    <tranx cccf="N" amt="1"/>
    <tranx cccf="Y" amt="2"/>
    <tranx cccf="N" amt="3"/>
    <tranx cccf="Y" amt="4"/>
  </tranxs>
 </report>

and:

<foo xsl:version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:for-each select="report">
    <xsl:value-of select="sum(tranxs/tranx[@cccf = 'N']/@amt)"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</foo>

I get:

<foo>4</foo>

which is the sum of 1 and 3.

Subject: Sum() function


| Hi there,
| 
| I'm trying to sum report totals, but I only want to sum certain attributes.
| For example
| 
| My.xml
| 
| <report>
| <tranxs>
| <tranx cccf="N" amt="200">
| </tranx>
| </report>
| 
| My.xsl
| 
| <xsl:for-each select="report">
| ...
| <xsl:value-of select="sum(tranxs/tranx[@cccf = 'N']/@amt)"/>
| 
| I know the above line is wrong, but I don't know how to fix it.  I want it
| to sum depending on the cccf attribute value.
| 
| Thanks in advance,
| 
| Callum Elliott
