Rod,

At 02:02 PM 3/30/2010, you wrote:
I need to create a table if either the second and third "apply-template" directives return nodes, and otherwise create nothing .

Bind them to a variable so:


<xsl:variable name="results">
  <xsl:apply-templates .../>
  <xsl:apply-templates .../>
</xsl:variable>

then generate your table if $results has any content.

In XSLT 1.0 the easiest way is to test for non-whitespace text:

<xsl:if test="normalize-space($results)">
  <table border="1"  width="85%" >
    <xsl:copy-of select=$results"/>
  </table>
</xsl:if>

In XSLT 2.0 you can be smarter about what's inside $results.

You can also split $results into two variables if you need to handle the two apply-templates results separately.

Good luck,
Wendell


"Fiscal Year" is the Dimension name and C02 and C09 are the "Column Group Name"s, but the table creation is not quite correct as the rows are not displayed correctly.

Thank you in advance.

Rod
