Hi

The sum funciton is giving some strange result.

Xml :-
<documents>
 <value>10.11</value>
 <value>20.22</value>
 <value>30.33</value>
 <value>40.44</value>
 <value>50.55</value>
 <value>10.11</value>
 <value>20.22</value>
</documents>

XSL :-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:exsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
extension-element-prefixes="exsl">


<xsl:variable name="SubTotals">
 <xsl:for-each  select="/documents/value">
   <value><xsl:value-of select="." /></value>
 </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="documents/value" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="value">
<xsl:variable name="Position" select="position()" />
<xsl:value-of select="sum(exsl:node-set($SubTotals)/value[position() &lt; $Position])" /><br />
</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>


The result :- 0 10.11 30.33 60.66 101.1 151.64999999999998 161.76

I am worried about the output 151.64999999999998. Why is it outputting this value?

I am expecting to be upto 2 decimal places or 1 decimal places.

Well I can mask it upto 2 decimal places but I do not have a liberty to do that.

Thanks in advance.

Arun.
