Re: Summing hours-worked values from previous siblings

Thanks again for all your help,
Mark

I am creating a work-report sheet that needs to know the value of working hours accrued to the current date for each date. The xml looks like this

<Month name=C"b,BAprilC"b,B>
<Date day="1">
<Session task="LS Authorities">
<Notes hours-worked="2.00" notes="Documented changes from last week."/>
</Session>
</Date>
<Date day="2">
<Session task="LS Authorities">
<Notes hours-worked="2.00" notes="Worked with Wayne resolving $2 border cases (see Campfire notes)."/>
<Notes hours-worked="1.50" notes="Final boarder case resolution and 655/150 issue."/>
</Session>
</Date>
</Month>

I can get a Daily total of hours worked with a named template called from the Sessions template, but how can I show the hours accrued for all previous days?
For the XLM given, My output for the first Date should be C"b,EDaily Total: 2.0 Accrued: 2.0.C"b,B
and for the second Date C"b,EDaily Total: 3.5. Accrued: 5.5.C"b,B

That is, I need to know the value of all *previous* hours-worked and exclude any *following* hours-worked. The XSLT so far look like this:

<xsl:template match="Session">
   <fo:table-row>
     <fo:table-cell>
       <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="subdiv1">
        <xsl:value-of select="@task"/>
       </fo:block>
     </fo:table-cell>
   </fo:table-row>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
   <xsl:call-template name="day-total"/>
 </xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="day-total">
 <fo:table-row>
   <fo:table-cell>
     <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="subdiv3">
       <fo:wrapper xsl:use-attribute-sets="title">
         <xsl:text>Daily Total: </xsl:text>
       </fo:wrapper>
         <xsl:value-of select="sum(Notes/@hours-worked)"/>
       <fo:wrapper xsl:use-attribute-sets="title">
           <xsl:text>Accrued: </xsl:text>
       </fo:wrapper>
<!-- What goes here to select all previous Notes/@hours-worked???
           <xsl:value-of select="sum(?????????????Notes/@hours-worked)"/>

Since your current node is <Session> you need to
address the Notes descendant of all preceding
siblings of the parent Date, plus the Notes child of the current node:

<xsl:value-of select="sum( (. |
../preceding-sibling::Date/Session)/Notes/@hours-worked)"/>

Note that if any of the attribute values might
possibly be the empty string, your sum() will be
affected and you can protect the sum in XSLT 1.0 by using a predicate:

<xsl:value-of select="sum( (. |
../preceding-sibling::Date/Session)/Notes/@hours-worked[number()=number()])"/>

<xsl:value-of select="sum( (. |
../preceding-sibling::Date/Session)/Notes/@hours-worked[.
castable as xsd:double])"/>

    </fo:block>
   </fo:table-cell>
 </fo:table-row>
</xsl:template>
