Re: Grouping by distinct combinations of descendant e

Hi,

This does the grouping that you want:

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:variable name="appointments" as="element(Appointment)+">
      <xsl:for-each select="//Invitee">
        <Appointment Date="{../@Date}" TimeOfDay="{../@TimeOfDay}"
AppointmentType="{../@AppointmentType}"
          Firstname="{@Firstname}" Surname="{@Surname}"
Name="{concat(@Firstname,@Surname)}"/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="ap-groups" as="element(ap-group)+">
      <xsl:for-each-group select="$appointments"
group-by="concat(@TimeOfDay,'-',@AppointmentType,'-',@Name)">
        <ap-group key="{current-grouping-key()}">
          <xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
            <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </ap-group>
      </xsl:for-each-group>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="ap-groups-by-set">
      <xsl:for-each-group select="$ap-groups"
group-by="xx:get-dates(Appointment/@Date,'')">
        <ap-group-by-set key="{current-grouping-key()}">
          <xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
            <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </ap-group-by-set>
      </xsl:for-each-group>
    </xsl:variable>
    <Appointments>
      <xsl:for-each select="$ap-groups-by-set">
        <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </Appointments>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:function name="xx:get-dates">
    <xsl:param name="Dates"/>
    <xsl:param name="dates"/>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$Dates">
        <xsl:variable name="dates-c">
          <xsl:if test="$dates">
            <xsl:text>:</xsl:text>
          </xsl:if>
        </xsl:variable>
        <xsl:value-of
select="xx:get-dates($Dates[position()!=1],concat($dates,$dates-c,$Dates[1]))
"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="$dates"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:function>
