XSLT variable path
Hi
I have xsl that get data from the Store Proc. below is one method of how get my values from the pro:
<xsl:value-of select="@Months" />
and I also fecth them in a "Path" method":
<xsl:value-of select="(//report/PolicyValue/row/@PortfolioValue)"/>
Now my problem is, I want to format the value that I return in the path e.g (<xsl:value-of select='format-number(AdvFeeTax, "###,###,##0.00")'/>)
I tried this:
<xsl:value-of select="(//report/MonthlyCharge/row/'format-number(@ChargePercentage, ""###,###,##0.00"")' )"/>

Well with XSLT 2.0 you have two options, the first is with a single node you use
Code:
format-number(//report/MonthlyCharge/row/@ChargePercentage, "###,###,##0.00")
the second allows you to call the function for each node in a sequence
Code:
//report/MonthlyCharge/row/format-number(@ChargePercentage, "###,###,##0.00")
With XSLT 1.0 you only have the first option.

When you get an error, it's always important to tell us what the error is. You might not understand it, but we probably do.
I think it's most likely that the error is because your path expression selects more than one node, and format-number can only process one node on each call. Are you trying to format many numbers, or only one?

Yes I thought of mentioning my error but as again that it will be clear that my path wrong, need to be coded right. otherwise I always mention the error that I get.
Thanks :)
