Here i want to print LIcenseID,ValueMetric,ValueMetric Description..
ease consider as high priorty

Here is my xsl which is not eliminating duplicates in xslt
<xsl:key name="valueMetric" match="..//licenseOption" use="valueMetric" />

<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" />
<xsl:for-each select="../licensedFunction/licenseID>
<xsl:for-each select="licenseOption[count(. | key('valueMetric', valueMetric)[1]) = 1]">
<tr>
<xsl:if test="(position() mod 2 = 0)">
<xsl:attribute name="class">gray</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<td>
<xsl:variable name="valuemetricid" select="valueMetric" />
<xsl:variable name="licenceid" select="../licenseID" />
<small>
<a href="{contextRoot}{servletPath}iSoftwareorderinfoseb2_result.jsp?type=Licence&licenceid={$licenceid}&valuemetricid={$valuemetricid}">
<xsl:value-of select="../../productId/typeCode" />
<xsl:value-of select="../../productId/modelCode" />
</a>

Can you please post the file in the code snippet field, it looses some entities this way

Gertone (Geert Bormans)

Output I am getting is this

It is exactly what you want.

I seem to notice that you have changed the XSLT.
I think you introduced a bug, it would be nice if you posted the new XSLT... evidently

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<table border="1">
   <tr>
      <th>LicenseID</th>
      <th>ValueMetric</th>
      <th>ValueMetric Description</th>
   </tr>
   <tr>

      <td>77D000</td>
      <td>Per Engine Registration</td>

No need to post the XML again, I fixed it manually
Now I need the XSL, in order to continue

Some comments
- if you post XML or XSL, use the code snippet pane, then the code comes out with a lot better quality
- if you post an XSLT, make sure what you post is complete
I spend too much time fixing this rubbish before I can start working on it, whilst it is only a small effort for you to copy correctly

Gertone (Geert Bormans)

Too much was lost in your copying, I can't fix it in a way I can see what was wrong, please post again

Gertone (Geert Bormans)

also you XML is in complete
I see this XPath
<xsl:for-each select="offeringInformation/softwareOffering...
implying there is an offeringInformation element around what you posted
If an offeringInformation can contain multiple softwareOfferings, that could allready be the cause for duplication

How can you expect us to answer your question and help you debugging,
if you poste uncomplete data and uncomplete requirements.
This way you are wasting a lot of time from experts that could use that time to help others,

Well my friend,
what was wrong with my code?
You completely changed it, in order to have the same effect as my first example, except that it worked, and now it does not.
I started changing your example, put some effort in it and will likely end up with the same code as before.
So, can you tell me what was wrong with my example, and why you changed it, because you definitely did not improve it.
So simply tell me what functionality needs to be changed from my example, and I will help you with that, but I will not work on the code you just dumped here
