Thanks for your help in my previous post! Given the below xml,how can I get the
the number of unique warehouse codes? Do I need to use <xsl:key>?


<inventory>
<item>
<warehousecode>BA</warehousecode>
<item>bolt</item>
<quantity>34</quantity>
</item>
<item>
<warehousecode>BA</warehousecode>
<item>nail</item>
<quantity>50</quantity>
</item>
<item>
<warehousecode>AC</warehousecode>
<item>tack</item>
<quantity>5</quantity>
</item>
<item>
<warehousecode>BA</warehousecode>
<item>hammer</item>
<quantity>10</quantity>
</item>
<item>
<warehousecode>AD</warehousecode>
<item>screwdriver</item>
<quantity>60</quantity>
</item>
<item>
<warehousecode>AB</warehousecode>
<item>wrench</item>
<quantity>13</quantity>
</item>
</inventory>


Desired output:


Number of unique warehouse codes: 4

Thanks for helping an xsl newbie!!
