RE: [xsl] Problem with xsl:number formatting

["Budinger [US], Bruce" <Bruce.Budinger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken,

Thanks for your response.  I get a different answer when I try your
script.  When I view the file in Internet Explorer I get:

1 CSU Category: Interface
1.1 CSU: Analog Input Interface
1.1.1 SWInterface:
1.2 CSU: Analog Output Interface
1.2.1 SWInterface:
1.3 CSU: Other Interface
1.3.1 SWInterface:
2 CSU Category: Interface
2.1 CSU: Analog Input Interface
2.1.1 SWInterface:
2.2 CSU: Analog Output Interface
2.2.1 SWInterface:
2.3 CSU: Other Interface
2.3.1 SWInterface:
3 CSU Category: Interface
3.1 CSU: Analog Input Interface
3.1.1 SWInterface:
3.2 CSU: Analog Output Interface
3.2.1 SWInterface:
3.3 CSU: Other Interface
3.3.1 SWInterface:
4 CSU Category: Interface
4.1 CSU: Analog Input Interface
4.1.1 SWInterface:
4.2 CSU: Analog Output Interface
4.2.1 SWInterface:
4.3 CSU: Other Interface
4.3.1 SWInterface:

Using your xml and xls file.  Is my problem IE?

You are missing that value= trumps all other attributes for
<xsl:number/>.

The example below (with expanded input data) illustrates that you need
only specify where to start in the sequence.  You cannot use value= when
trying to reflect the count of nodes in the source node tree.

I hope this helps.
