Re: syntax question: using a variable inside format-number()



> <xsl:value-of select="format-number(/AssetAnalyzer/$curcat,'#00%')"/>

your problem is nothing to do with format-number it's just that
/AssetAnalyzer/$curcat
isn't a valid xpath construct, you can't use a string containing part of
an xpath as part of an expression. For simple cases (like this)
you can use
/AssetAnalyzer/*[name()=$curcat]
