Cumulatively, > this is 113: 103 + 102 + 108 = 113. cumulative interest isn't additive The increase over three years is 1.03 * 1.02 * 1.08 =~ 1.135 or 13.5% so you will need a recursive template as xpath2 doesn't have a product built in (or you could use saxon7's implementation of xpath 2 draft, which does) David -- http://www.dcarlisle.demon.co.uk/matthew XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
