So basically I have Source and Target XML.

The gist of it is that I need to get the data on the target XML so that

H | W | L
1 | 2 | 3
4 | 5 | 6
7 | 8 | 9

I can't pinpoint whether the issue is with the Source XML or the XSLT

In the Target XML, I the <Values> in <AttributeCollections> Grouped based on the <attribute> tags above.

Clienteeee.xml
source xml

Clienteeee.xsd
Source XSD

Untitled13.xsl
XSL I have atm

ClientFeaturesImportMaster.xml
Target XML

I am sure I can follow, could you post an XML document that shows the desired result, given as input Clienteeee.xml?

Just to add the complexity, Each MultiDimension can have a different number of Attributes vs Values.

In the screen it's like a 4 x 4 grid, but the next set can be a 3x3 grid or a 6x7 grid

It seems like there is no way to correlate AttributeCollection to Attribute. The attached solution uses the number of Attribute to group the AttributeCollection elements.

Does it help?

It's helping a bit. Certainly has given me more ideas. Let me play around with your XSL that you have given me.

Thanks for the help so far!

I couldn't get exactly what I wanted, so I rejigged the source from Access and changed the way i'm structuring the data.

now I have an issue with apply templates. This is what I have in the XSL:

<AttributeCollections>
<xsl:for-each select="AttributeCollection">
<AttributeCollection>
<Value>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Value1"/>
</Value>
<Value>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Value2"/>
</Value>
<Value>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Value3"/>
</Value>
<Value>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Value4"/>
</Value>
</AttributeCollection>
</xsl:for-each>
</AttributeCollections>

Where I find Value[x] and just take the value and template it to <value> on the target

is there a way to have a If/For clause to check that if the source has a tag that exists, apply template.. and if it doesn't, then skip?

Move the <Value> wrapper inside your template, if the value is not present in the input, it doesn't match the rule

<AttributeCollection>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Value1|Value2|Value3|Value4"/>
</AttributeCollection>

....

<xsl:template match="Value1|Value2|Value3|Value4">
<Value>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</Value>
</xsl:template>

I'm guessing from the answer that there is no way to specify a wildcard or to have say Value1-99 or something like that, correct?

apply-templates select="*" for matching any element.

A More sophisticate technique could filter in only those with a name that starts with a prefix

apply-templates select=*[starts-with(local-name(),'Value')]
