Fwd: Re: [xsl] Complex expression

["Oleg Konovalov" <olegkon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Andrew,

So you are saying that to determine the Type of the Cell [named
"Start_Date"],
I need to use:  sht:Cell[sht:Name="Start_Date"]/@ValueType.

I also looked at not() vs. != in "Beginning XSLT" book and
if I understand correctly, it is better to use not() in my case (for
comparison true for any node), so it boils down to using:
<xsl:when test='not(sht:Cell[sht:Name="Start_Date"]/@ValueType = 'DATE')'
>...

Do you agree ?

Thank you,
Oleg.
