Re: Problem writing xsl to convert xml to excel

Anna,

It's a bit hard to answer your question since we are having to guess what you want your output to look like. (No we don't all use Excel every day. :-)

In general, however, I can say you don't need or want to use a counter. (In XSLT you almost never do.) Accordingly, a simple and clean stylesheet to do what you want will look quite different from what you have so far.

If you post again with a sample of the output you want, it'll be easier for someone to give you more concrete help.

Cheers,
Wendell
