problem in xml query

[Former Member]

Hi

I am working on BLS and having problem in xml query.I want to perform some calculation over xml columns.Than total of this as a new column.I can do this part in logic editor itself but can i do these both task by XSLT.

Can be made our own XSLT for this ?

I am feeling kind of fear to xslt. Can anybody help me in this.

Thanks a lot in advance

It is always best to use the BLS capabilities versus XSLT - there are substantial usability, capability, and performance advantages. I would not use XSLT in general. BLS should be able to do 100% of what you need (simply feed the XMLQuery results into the BLS transaction).

Hi

I forgot to add one thing here, if we use multi calculator we can do calculation but after that i want total of columns so how we can do this all operations by a single xslt.

Some easy way to modify these xslt's.

Thanks

Ram,

In xMII there is a list of predefined xslt transforms that do something similar to what you are explaining. The 3 that I think may be what you are looking for are

they are under Calculation Transformations and Subtotal Transformation take a look at these and tell me if they are doing what you want to accomplish. In the xMII help file do a search on Inline Transforms or navigate to Advanced Topics -> Inline Transforms -> Predefined Inline Transforms. In this section there are examples of how to use these transforms and apply them in the query templates. If this is not what you are looking for can you explain in a little more detail along with a simple example of how you want this transform to work. Also why do you want to use xslt if you can already accomplish this in BLS?

Regards,

Erik
