Re: [xsl] Logical in Count function

> am I wrong to use logical and 
yes count() counts nodes but if you use a logical expression then that
will have value either true or false" and won't return a node set

you want the number of noes in teh union of those two sets so that is

count(/dsWMSRpt/WMSReport[Person_x0020_Name!='Vacancy']
 | /dsWMSRpt/WMSReport[Person_x0020_Name!=''])

or since the sets are disjoint it is equivalent and perhaps a bit nore
efficient to just sum the separate node set counts 

count(/dsWMSRpt/WMSReport[Person_x0020_Name!='Vacancy']) +
count(/dsWMSRpt/WMSReport[Person_x0020_Name!=''])
