I have found a lot of info on the web, including the archive for this list, about selecting distinct nodes using the preceding-sibling axis, and what not. However, I still haven't been able to find a solution for this somewhat more convoluted problem. Given this xml: <report> <subscriber number="001930"> <location number="358107"> <shift_date date="09-JUL-01"> <credit_card type="Visa"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Switch"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Mastercard"> </credit_card> </shift_date> <shift_date date="10-JUL-01"> <credit_card type="Visa"> </credit_card> </shift_date> </location> <location number="358108"> <shift_date date="08-JUL-01"> <credit_card type="American Express"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Visa"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Switch"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Mastercard"> </credit_card> </shift_date> <shift_date date="09-JUL-01"> <credit_card type="Visa"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Mastercard"> </credit_card> </shift_date> </location> <location number="358199"> <shift_date date="08-JUL-01"> <credit_card type="Visa"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Switch"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Mastercard"> </credit_card> </shift_date> <shift_date date="10-JUL-01"> <credit_card type="American Express"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Visa"> </credit_card> <credit_card type="Mastercard"> </credit_card> </shift_date> </location> </subscriber> </report> I want to iterate over a list of shift_dates and all the credit cards that were used on that date for each subscriber. So I want a list like this: <shift_date date="08-JUL-01"> <credit_card type="American Express"/> <credit_card type="Visa"/> <credit_card type="Switch"/> <credit_card type="Mastercard"/> </shift_date> <shift_date date="09-JUL-01"/> <credit_card type="Visa"/> <credit_card type="Switch"/> <credit_card type="Mastercard"/> </shift_date> <shift_date date="10-JUL-01"/> <credit_card type="American Express"/> <credit_card type="Visa"/> <credit_card type="Mastercard"/> </shift_date> So I basicly want every credit card on each date, but without duplicates in the list. Is this possible with XSLT 1.0? Or should I wait for select-distinct in XSLT 2.0? Please cc my email, nshafer@xxxxxxxxxxxx, in the reply, I am not subscribed to this list. Thanks, Nate XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
