Hi all... >From Muenchian method of grouping, I always use something like this: ROW[count(. | key('relacion_x_cobertura', REL_ID)[1]) = 1] That always works, but I want to understand he reason of that syntax, so that if I don't have the possibility of doing copy & paste from other code, I could be able to write that expression by myself. I know that instruction only returns the different elements contained in ROW. That difference is determined by REL_ID value. But the actual questions are: - Why the . (dot) is used? why if I omit it, it doesn't work (it returns all elements)? - What's the meaning of the | (pipe)? - What's the meaning of [1]? I have always used things like [FIELD_NAME=some_value]. I understand that perfectly, but what about placing only that number in the brackets? I tried by using [2] and it worked too... or, perhaps I was lucky? Thanks a lot in advance Jaime XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
