XPath predicate / sql join-esque statement
Hi,
I have two SharePoint lists. One is a list of Purchase Requests, the other is a list of workflow tasks. A workflow task references a Purchase Request.
Occasionally a workflow will fail to start correctly and the Purchase Request gets stuck as Pending despite having no active tasks.
Using SharePoint Designer I'd like to produce a table that displays Purchase Requests currently pending in the first column and the number of active workflow tasks corresponding to that invoice in the second column.
So the left column is
@PR_x0020_Reference
from the set
/dsQueryResponse/Purchase_
To count the number of tasks for a specific invoice, say ISD0000140, you use the following expression
count(../../../Workflow_Ta
Essentially I want to replace 'ISD0000140' with @PR_x0020_Reference, but when I do then it always evaluates to true so it just returns the total number of active tasks.
Hope that makes sense, any pointers much appreciated.

Are you using a DVWP?

Yes, I can add it as a joined subview but ideally I'd like to filter on the result, and the main table wouldn't know the contents of the subview that way.

Would the parameter not exist for the page rather than just a row though? (see 'code' below)
So in the first row the parameter would be PR00000010, second row would be PR00000015 etc.

Column 1 | Column 2

I'm not using Marc's crosslist dvwp. The problem isn't displaying results, it's displaying results without creating a nested table.
In the attached picture see the faint box around each result in the remaining GBP column. This is because it's a subview. I can't sort on subviews though, since each subview is unrelated to the other.

Sorry. Can't seem to upload the pic, guess the firewall at work is being a bit overzealous today.
