Could it be this:

preceding[row[site-transaction-name='model code']][not empty(.)]


Thanks for any tips.

The best tip at this stage is to provide the required output for that
input that you posted... At the moment it's hard to guess your
requirements from the code and input.

Ok, yes, thanks.  The source is below.  The result would be
three elements showing the "composited" changes the
grouped by date rows represent. (Note that I don't have a
problem with the dates, since those are in every row of
the preceding-sibling[1], but for other data, it may not be
in the immediate preceding sibling.)

I realized that one issue is that all axis statements return
sequences in document order, but what I need is the data in
reverse document order.  So let me think about that.

So, what I have is a tree of grouped elements, but some groups
are incomplete.  I need to go in reverse order and find the
first match.

                                   Z
                     Y                   Y              Y
               A B C D E            C1 D1         E2

<Y>
<A><B><C><D><E>
</Y>
<Y>
<A><B><C1><D1><E>
</Y>
<A><B><C1><D1><E2>
</Y>

Best,
Hank
