Re: Q - Value of param doesn't change ! [solved]

Ah... you're right.. I should've simply used the floor function
instead of the format-number... I guess that's what was causing the
problem.

You see, the relevance to my earlier question is that for the
remaining elements (which I excluded since it was a huge xml file), it
was giving me 7 hrs -20 mins for _every_ element !

Anyways.. everything's fine now !

Thank you !

Best Regards, Ahsan
