RE: use of xsl:key in cross-referencing

Huh?  I can see how it will miss questionnaire QB, but not QC.

I don't think so, because it uses @column=1 for all rows,
instead of using @column=2 for the first group and @column=1
for the second group.

Above, you had "@row &gt; 20 and @row &lt; 30".  Do you know
these boundary numbers in advance?  If so, why not use them.

Here's a select expression and template that should allow you to
process each Questionnaire once...

        <xsl:apply-templates select="/range/row[count(.|key('QuestionnaireKey',
                                     string(cell[(_at_)column=1 and
                                       ../@row &gt; 20] |
                                     cell[(_at_)column=2 and
                                       ../@row &lt; 20]))[1]) = 1]" />
...

  <xsl:template match="row">
    <p>
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="@row &lt; 20">
          Processing Questionnaire <xsl:value-of select="cell[(_at_)column=2]" 
/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          Processing Questionnaire <xsl:value-of select="cell[(_at_)column=1]" 
/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </p>
  </xsl:template>

I tried this with your test data and it displayed 
        Processing Questionnaire QA
        Processing Questionnaire QB
        Processing Questionnaire QC

Does this solve your problem?
