Never mind the output bit. I see that I missed this in your first post: Rough example of output: <ROWS> <ROW CONTRACT_ID="351" CONTRACT_NUMBER="555" DETAIL_ID="570" BEGINDAY="3/1/2004" ENDDAY="3/2/2004" RATE="0.02"/> <ROW CONTRACT_ID="351" CONTRACT_NUMBER="555" DETAIL_ID="570" BEGINDAY="3/3/2004" ENDDAY="3/5/2004" RATE="0.01"/> </ROWS> This and my earlier posts prove that my mind is definitely elsewhere (I've been pretty tightly focused on my own coding problems lately).

Just the keywords in your subject line tell me that your post is on-topic, so you needn't apologize. Grouping is one of those things that really depends on what are trying to achieve, so please post the XML you'd like your XSL to produce. With only the input to play with, I'd have to guess, which may just waste time and not give you what you need. Just offhand, I'd say you'll need to use keys or walk up and down the ancestor axis to get where you're going, but it's hard to be specific without seeing the desired output. Also, as a small favor, could you use less indentation? I'm getting nasty wrapping when I view your source XML (partly because the mail client I have to use is dumb as a post). A couple spaces rather than a couple tabs would be much nicer. Thanks.

I'm attempting to flatten and consolidate this XML document. In short I would sort by DETAIL_ID and PRODUCTIONDAY, then group up based on the RATE, outputting BEGINDAY and ENDDAY to represent the date range the RATE covered. Though not shown in this example of data, there will be a record for every day in the month so sorting by PRODUCTIONDAY will always produce consecutive rows. I have no problem flattening the data but the attempts I've made at grouping the data have failed miserably. All the examples I have found use preceding-sibling and following-sibling which doesn't apply for my data, at least that's my assumption. I have also tried using keys but I have run into similar problems. I am using XSLT 1.0. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. What is the equiv of following-sibling for my DETAIL_ID's? <?xml version='1.0'?> <BUSINESSASSOCIATE> <ID>116</ID> <SUPPLYCONTRACTS> <CONTRACT number='555'> <ID>351</ID> <DAYS> <DATE> <DAY>3/5/2004</DAY> <VERSIONS> <VERSION> <DETAILS> <DETAIL> <DETAIL_ID>570</DETAIL_ID> <PRODUCTIONDAY>5</PRODUCTIONDAY> <PRODUCTIONDATE>3/5/2004</PRODUCTIONDATE> <RESERVATION> <RATE>0.01</RATE> </RESERVATION> </DETAIL> </DETAILS> </VERSION> </VERSIONS> </DATE> <DATE> <DAY>3/4/2004</DAY> <VERSIONS> <VERSION> <DETAILS> <DETAIL> <DETAIL_ID>570</DETAIL_ID> <PRODUCTIONDAY>4</PRODUCTIONDAY> <PRODUCTIONDATE>3/4/2004</PRODUCTIONDATE> <RESERVATION> <RATE>0.01</RATE> </RESERVATION> </DETAIL> </DETAILS> </VERSION> </VERSIONS> </DATE> <DATE> <DAY>3/3/2004</DAY> <VERSIONS> <VERSION> <DETAILS> <DETAIL> <DETAIL_ID>570</DETAIL_ID> <PRODUCTIONDAY>3</PRODUCTIONDAY> <PRODUCTIONDATE>3/3/2004</PRODUCTIONDATE> <RESERVATION> <RATE>0.01</RATE> </RESERVATION> </DETAIL> </DETAILS> </VERSION> </VERSIONS> </DATE> <DATE> <DAY>3/2/2004</DAY> <VERSIONS> <VERSION> <DETAILS> <DETAIL> <DETAIL_ID>570</DETAIL_ID> <PRODUCTIONDAY>2</PRODUCTIONDAY> <PRODUCTIONDATE>3/2/2004</PRODUCTIONDATE> <RESERVATION> <RATE>0.02</RATE> </RESERVATION> </DETAIL> </DETAILS> </VERSION> </VERSIONS> </DATE> <DATE> <DAY>3/1/2004</DAY> <VERSIONS> <VERSION> <DETAILS> <DETAIL> <DETAIL_ID>570</DETAIL_ID> <PRODUCTIONDAY>1</PRODUCTIONDAY> <PRODUCTIONDATE>3/1/2004</PRODUCTIONDATE> <RESERVATION> <RATE>0.02</RATE> </RESERVATION> </DETAIL> </DETAILS> </VERSION> </VERSIONS> </DATE> </DAYS> </CONTRACT> </SUPPLYCONTRACTS> </BUSINESSASSOCIATE> Rough example of output: <ROWS> <ROW CONTRACT_ID="351" CONTRACT_NUMBER="555" DETAIL_ID="570" BEGINDAY="3/1/2004" ENDDAY="3/2/2004" RATE="0.02"/> <ROW CONTRACT_ID="351" CONTRACT_NUMBER="555" DETAIL_ID="570" BEGINDAY="3/3/2004" ENDDAY="3/5/2004" RATE="0.01"/> </ROWS> -Robert
