RE: [xsl] Problem transforming Excel XML Workbook (or how to implement one-more-counter-yet in XSLT)

I have a possible avenue that's not totally on topic for the list, but excel lets you define XML maps that can give you a bit more flexibility with the output XML... You can't always get what you want with it but you could probably get a lot closer than excel's XML output as shown below. ---->N > -----Original Message----- > From: Nacho Jimenez [mailto:nacho.jimenez@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 3:12 AM > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [xsl] Problem transforming Excel XML Workbook (or > how to implement one-more-counter-yet in XSLT) > > Dear all, > > I'm stuck like glue trying to get data out of an XML Workbook in > Excel, and can't find a solution without recursing to a > procedural-style counter..
