Using xsl:for-each you don't; if you process the txns using a recursive template construct, you can always pass the previous currCpmBI, but not using xsl:for-each - it's *not* a for-loop like in, say, Java. Instead just do <xsl:if test="cpmMemBI = previous-sibling::txns[1]/cpmMemBI"> > - If the current value has changed, how can i re-initialise > the previous value with the current value? The current value cannot change, you can't change the source tree, nor can you change the value bound to a variable.
