Re: Sum produces NaN

Hi James,

I'm not sure why you use named templates, can't you just say

<xsl:value-of select="sum(a/b/data)"/> ?

That would give you the sum of all <data> records,
but indeed returns NaN if one of them is empty.

To solve this, you can narrow your selection to those
<data> elements whose content is not empty:

<xsl:value-of select="sum(a/b/data[.!=''])"/> or
<xsl:value-of select="sum(a/b/data[text()])"/>

That should return "8" for your input

Hello
To add a column of numbers I am using the xsl below.  However if there is
one value missing in the column then the xsl produces NaN.

eg. Below is xml with a value missing in last <data>.  I then use the xsl
below to add all <data> values but receive NaN because of the missing value.
If all <data> tags have value then the sum works.  Please could anyone show
how to resolve this.  Any help greatly appreciated.
