The first part, dividing the two (so-called) attributes is easy:
RECORDITEM[(_at_)sqlsource='oldshares'] div
RECORDITEM[(_at_)sqlsource='newshares']
The next bit is more difficult. There's no built-in function (like sum())
that takes the product of a set of numbers, but Dimitre's FXSL library makes
it very easy to define one of your own. If he's listening, I'm sure he'll
tell you how.
The alternative is to do a recursive scan of the values: write a template
(or XSLT 2.0 function) that takes a RECORDSECTION as an argument and the
product-so-far as a second argument. Compute the value above, multiply it by
the product-so-far, and call the template with the following-sibling
RECORDSECTION and the new product as the arguments. Start the thing off by
calling this template/function with the first RECORDSECTION and the value 1
as arguments, terminate the recursion when there are no following siblings.

Subject: [xsl] params - keys? how to calculate product of
parents with multiple children
Hi am having trouble conceptualizing how/if I can calculate
the following:
I want to take the children of RECORDSECTION and divide
attribute value
newshares by attribute value oldshares.
I then want to multiply the results of each those
calculations (there may be
0 - any number of occurrences of RECORDSECTION). So for below
it would be:
(1/2)*(1/2)= 0.25
Any help/examples would be appreciated.
