You don't say why so it is difficult to advise how to fix the problem you are trying to solve using a variable.

To mimic the results you want, an example is below.

I hope this helps.

............ Ken

T:\ftemp>type carter.xml
<numbers>
  <num>3</num>
  <num>7</num>
  <num>11</num>
  <num>6</num>
  <num>3</num>
</numbers>

T:\ftemp>type carter.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template match="num">
  <xsl:text/>num=<xsl:value-of select="."/>
  <xsl:text> accumulated=</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="sum(. | preceding-sibling::num)"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

T:\ftemp>xt carter.xml carter.xsl

  num=3 accumulated=3
  num=7 accumulated=10
  num=11 accumulated=21
  num=6 accumulated=27
  num=3 accumulated=30

T:\ftemp>
