RE: Continuously add to a parameter at each call

2005-11-09 13:07:25

To elaborate on my problem, For each of the Top Level Tasks - I have to
search through each Assignment - obtain the task that is related to the
assignment - check if the task obtained falls under the top-level task -
and if it does then get the cost.

For example,

I have 3 Top-Level tasks: "Hardware", "Software", "Analysis" and these
Top level tasks have low-level tasks under them.  My objective is to
obtain a total for each of these Top-Level Tasks.  The way I do this is
to go through each Top-Level Task and at the same time go through each
"Assignments", get the low-level tasks that correspond to the
Assignment, then check if that task is related to the Top-Level and get
the cost.  I can get all the tasks under a particular Top-Level task,
but once I get it - I am not too sure how to get the cost and have a
running total at the same time.

I really appreciate your quick response Michael

Currently I am
checking through all tasks to meet a certain condition and 
when there is
a match I want to obtain the cost of the task and set that value to a
parameter.  My desired end result should calculate the total 
cost of all
tasks that satisfy the condition.


Why not use the sum() function?

The sum function returns the sum, for each node in the argument
node-set, of
the result of converting the string-values of the node to a number.

Then,

<xsl:value-of select="sum(/XPath/to/nodes[answeringToSomeCondition])"/>

with possibly a translate() inserted to remove symbols (euro, dollar,
etc.)

HTH,
