Thanks Ken and Mukul.
I only tried the first solution and the idea worked out fine.
Actually I realized that I needed to filter all empty elements and elements
containing one or more empty elements or one or more 0-value elements.
I therefore used not(/root/row[column[.=0]) and
not(/root/row[column[normalize-space(.)=''])
Thanks for the fast reply guys!
Sincerely
Daniel

I can filter out the empty "row"'s by challenging the contents of the
entire element by: <xsl:value-of
select="count(/root/row[normalize-space()])"/>
But how do I exclude an element "row" if just a single "column" in the
element is empty?
For "exclude those with at least one empty column":
count(/root/row[not(column[not(normalize-space())])])
"count rows without columns without space"
For "exclude those with exactly one empty column":
count(/root/row[not(count(column[not(normalize-space())]=1))])
"count rows without a single column without space"
I hope this helps.
