Dogmar SSubject: Sum and Count together
Author: Dogmar S

Hello,

I am attempting to calculate the sum of the return of a count procedure and I seem not to be able to solve this. The following is what I have:

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(sum(value-of select="count(people)")"/>

The goal is the following:

If the count of people returns 1, 2, 3, 4 and then 5, then I would like for the sum to return 15. I would appreciate any help available. Thank you.

DS

You dont have to sum the result as count already returns only one value. If you are in a for-each loop and therefore whant to sum it up, do it the other way:

Declare a variable outside the loop and fill it with the result of the count statement. So you will have all desired nodes counted.

Hello Elias,

What you have said makes sense I think, but I am not sure if I understand. If I do the following:

<xsl:value-of select="count(people)"/>

then I get the number that I am looking for, but it is in a loop and so I am not summing those numbers (which is what I would really need to do). That is why I tried to sum the return of the count. Does this make sense? Anything else I can try? Thank you!

Could you provide a sample of your input so we can see
what you're working against, and also a sample of your
output, and also which version of Stylus Studio you are
using (since this is the Stylus Studio support forum).
