XSLT: modifying a variable
Hello,
I have a little template which is meant to iterate over all the /records of my XML document and add ./field[7] to a running total.
I know what you're going to say - use sum() instead, but the problem is I need the summing to be conditional (so later on I'll put <xsl:if> processing
in this template).
Anyway, is it possible to do something like the following;
<xsl:template name="calc_vat">
<xsl:variable name="bab" select="0"/>
<xsl:for-each select="/tabledata/record"
<xsl:value-of select="$bab"/></xsl:templ
it isn't working at the moment which I presume is because the variable "bab" is being redeclared within my <for-each> processing loop,
but what I really want to do is add the field[7] value to the "bab" figure on each iteration.
Can someone give me some pointers or an alternative solution?
Thanks

ah, forgive me for being slow but could you provide a short example?
that'd really help. ta

Im guessing you mean something like this:
<xsl:template match="/tabledata/record" name="total">
<xsl:for-each select="/tabledata/record"
<xsl:if test="./@include">
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(sum(
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
But im not sure how to make this template return ONLY the sum of all the filtered nodes, if you could help out that'd be great.
