Katie,
<xsl:variable name="sum" select="sum(Borrower[Rank=1]/AssetSet/Asset/Amount)"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$sum">
<xsl:value-of
select="format-number($sum, '$.00')"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise> </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
That's a clean way to do it. It'll give the space if your sum is either 0
or NaN. If you want "$0.00" when it's 0, change the test to "$sum or ($sum=0)".
Others may come up with more magical ways.
Enjoy,
Wendell
