How do you count and loop in XSLT.It seems a trick is required.

I need to process a summary of these XML Records

<ROWSET>

I want my output to look like this after 1 transform.

<Report>
<Item>
<Name>JRH</Name>
<Count>8</Count>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>SR</Name>
<Count>7</Count>
</Item>

I can't figure out the looping and counting in XSLT? Is there a simple solution.

Looping in XSLT is generally simple.
You just push out the nodes using xsl:apply-templates or use an xsl:for-each

The difficulty in this little task however is looping over ROW elements with distinct TMRKT
That is grouping, for which you could use the muenchian technique, as I did in my solution,
explained remarkably well here

I tried the solution and it looks like it works perfectly. Thanks.
