hi, I had the same task a while ago and you can find my solution at: http://www.kk-software.fi/kalle/xslt/fromExcel.xsl It fills all empty cells but doesn't do anything with empty rows as I'm not interested in them. regards Kaarle -----Original Message----- From: stephan@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:stephan@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 15. elokuuta 2005 14:36 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] Normalizing/Simplify MS-Excel XML Hi there, cracking my head on this... I try to convert an Excel XML Spreadsheet into a simpler format. My first attempt works fine (my Excel sheet name is called "Sheet 1") but only when all cells are filled (see code below). When cells in Excel are not filled Excel XML simply adds a column reference to the next following cell like this: <Row> <Cell><Data ss:Type="String">Peter Pan</Data></Cell> <Cell ss:Index="4"><Data ss:Type="String">Toon</Data></Cell> <Cell><Data ss:Type="String">Disney</Data></Cell> <Cell><Data ss:Type="String">USA</Data></Cell> <Cell ss:Index="11"><Data ss:Type="String">7</Data></Cell> <Cell><Data ss:Type="String">GA</Data></Cell> </Row> So type of movie is in column 4, the Studio in column 5 and the country in column 6. (Column 2 would have the Male Star and Column 3 the Female, which is empty for Toons or Animee, Column 7-10 some more statistical data) I need: <movie> <title>Peter Pan</title><genre>Toon</genre><studio>Disney</studio><country>USA</country><r ating>7</rating><audience>GA</audience> </movie> The field names are in the first row.... What I wonder: how do I get an XPath expression (I guess preceding-sibling:: comes into play) that can give me the column name based on the last ss:Index and the "distance to it", so I get column 6 for Disney, column 7 for USA etc. So it seems to be the basic axis question: "When within my siblings was the last time a attribute of type x appeared and what was the value. The what was the value question seems rather simple: select=" preceding-sibling::e:Cell/@ss:Index" The "how many nodes ago" question is where I'm stuck.... Help is greatly appreciated!!! :-) stw My template that works for full rows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl=" http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:e=" urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:ss=" urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" exclude-result-prefixes="e ss"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent=" yes"/> <xsl:param name="sheetname">Sheet 1</xsl:param> <xsl:template match="e:Workbook"> <xsl:element name="importdata"> <xsl:attribute name="type"><xsl:value-of select=" $sheetname"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates select=" e:Worksheet[@ss:Name=$sheetname]"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="e:Worksheet"> <xsl:apply-templates select="e:Table"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="e:Table"> <xsl:apply-templates select="e:Row"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="e:Row"> <xsl:element name="record"> <xsl:attribute name="position"><xsl:value-of select="position()-1"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates select="e:Cell"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="e:Cell[e:Data!='']"> <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/> <xsl:element name="field"> <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select=" normalize-space(ancestor::e:Table/e:Row[position()=1]/e:Cell[position()=$pos] ) "/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="e:Data"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <!-- elements we do not need --> <xsl:template match="e:Row[position()=1]"/> <!-- First row contains field names --> <xsl:template match="*"/> </xsl:stylesheet>
