RE: Node positions with xsl:number count="" level="MUL

Bill,
Have a look at substring-before and substring-after

<xsl:param name="Dept" /> <!-- Dept being equal to '45.3' -->
<xsl:apply-templates
select="./agency[position()=substring-before($Dept,
'.')]/agency[position()=substring-after($Dept, '.')]">
