Hi,

To break it down:

1) reports coded with either an 'a' or 'b':

<xsl:variable name="var-one"
              select="report[codelist/code[
                @type='a' or @type='b']]" />

2) ... where the last 'a' or 'b' code in doc order is 'a'

<xsl:variable name="var-two"
              select="$var-one[codelist/code/@type[last()]='a']" />

all-in-one?

<xsl:variable name="vcount" select="count(/*/report[codelist/code[
                              @type='a' or @type='b']/@type[last()]='a'])"
/>

yup, should do the trick.. untested though


Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Andreas
