Re: [xsl] Help XSL Transformation of Data

[Rajesh Jain <rjain15@xxxxxxxxx>]

I got this to work, the declartion of the key had to be outside any template node

<xsl:key name="k1" match="Metrics/*" use="local-name()"/>

Thanks Martin, this has solved my problem. 

regards
Rajesh

We need to see the complete code of the stylesheet you use, if the XML parsing error occurs in that stylesheet.

If the code below is your complete stylesheet then you have certainly removed essential elements like the xsl:stylesheet element and of course also the xsl:template.
