 really it is pretty confusing to people offering help if you post input and output from unrelated expressions. Copy-paste/writing error, sorry count() is very efficient but has nothing to do with the problem that you have: it counts the number of nodes in a set, or in xslt2 it counts the number of items in a sequence. It has nothing to do with calculating totals. I thought I had seen count being used in the way I tried (counting the total of node values in a given nodeset). After rereading, I see that it must have been sum, that I was thinking of. I tried select="sum(number(colspec[contains(@colwidth,'*')]/substring-before(@colwidth,'*')))" instead, but this does not work either. So it will be the recursive template. I must say that I find I still lack understanding of XPath :-( Regards, Ragulf Pickaxe :-/ _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
