In  addition if there is  WorkArea and no skill I do not see the row I want  ie There should be an output in my data for all those Sheets without a WorkArea or Skill and with a WorkArea if there is no skill. ie TransactionNo = (1,2,8) do not show up

Do you use an XSLT 2.0 processor? Or why is version="2.0" in that 
stylesheet?
And if you use an XSLT 2.0 processor why do you use keys for grouping, 
why not for-each-group?


I am not sure what output you want. Can you post the output you want for 
the input sample you posted?
