The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

xslt + NaN

Asked by cmain in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT)

Tags: , ,

Hi,

I am trying to sum up a value using a published algorithm. The algoritm seems to get the correct value, but I cannot seem to format the value without getting NaN. Could anyone help.

Here is the XML.

<client name='Joe Bloggs'>

    <supplier name='A'>
        <product name='C'>
            <investment name='D='1200' price='5.50'/>
            <investment name='E' units='1200' price='3.50'/>
            <investment name='F' units='1345' price='6.55'/>
        </product>
    </supplier>

    <supplier name='B'>
        <product name='E'>
            <investment name='T' units='1200' price='5.50'/>
            <investment name='W' units='1200' price='3.50'/>
            <investment name='S' units='1345' price='6.55'/>
        </product>
    </supplier>

</client>

And here is the xslt.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
    xmlns:palantir="http://www.palantir.co.za"
    version="1.0">
   
<xsl:output
  method = "xml"
  version = "1.0"
  encoding = "UTF-8"
  indent = "yes"/>  
 
  <msxsl:script language="VBScript" implements-prefix="palantir">
  <![CDATA[
 
    Function Format(value)
         
         Format = value
         'Format = FormatCurrency(value)
         
    End Function
   
  ]]>
  </msxsl:script>  
 
  <xsl:template match="/">
  <table>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </table>
  </xsl:template>
 
  <xsl:template match='client'>
  <tr>
    <td><xsl:value-of select='@name'/></td>
    <td>
   
        <xsl:call-template name='total-investment'>
            <xsl:with-param name='investment-set' select='//investment'/>
        </xsl:call-template>
   
    </td>
  </tr>
  </xsl:template>
 
  <xsl:template name='total-investment'>
    <xsl:param name='investment-set'/>
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test='$investment-set'>
            <xsl:variable name='first-node'>
                <xsl:apply-templates select='$investment-set[1]' mode='investment-price'/>
            </xsl:variable>
            <xsl:variable name='other-nodes'>
                <xsl:call-template name='total-investment'>
                    <xsl:with-param name='investment-set' select='$investment-set[position()!=1]'/>
                </xsl:call-template>
            </xsl:variable>
            <xsl:value-of select='palantir:Format(number(number($first-node) + number($other-nodes)))'/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>0</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>                                    
                                   
  <xsl:template match='investment' mode='investment-price'>
    <xsl:value-of select='@units * @price'/>
  </xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

The above xslt works, except when I comment back in the format code it doesn't work.
I have tried the xslt built in functions, and I am getting the same result.

Please help.
Regards
