It's hard to say without being told in what way it isn't working (does it raise an error, produce a string formatted in a different way, produce nothing at all?). It would also help to see more of your stylesheet, your source document and know what XSLT processor you're using. Possible problems are: * using WD-xsl rather than XSLT * not applying templates to the test element in your document * having a default decimal format that doesn't recognise ,s and .s as you've used them * having a non-numeric value for the test element We should be able to work out which it is if you give us more information.
