Re: Convert to a Nodelist

xalan has a node-set extension function but it won't help you here.

after

<xsl:variable name="peerSelect">
    <xsl:if test="$peerSearch = 'NextYear' ">
        ComparisonPe/Yr2
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:if test="$peerSearch = 'NextQuarter' ">
        ComparisonPe/Qtr2
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>

peerSelect is a result tree fragment containing the text node

"
        ComparisonPe/Yr2
    "
(or ComparisonPe/Qtr2) and including the white space.

It does not contain the nodes selected by that XPath.

I think you just want

<xsl:variable  name="peerSelect"
  select="ComparisonPe[$peerSearch = 'NextYear']/Yr2 |
         ComparisonPe[$peerSearch = 'NextQuater']/Qtr2 "/>

Then the variable contains th erequested nodes and you can do

<xsl:value-of select="$peerSelect/PEER1" />
