RE: [xsl] conditional count

Thanks Ken and Mukul.

I only tried the first solution and the idea worked out fine.
Actually I realized that I needed to filter all empty elements and elements
containing one or more empty elements or one or more 0-value elements.

I therefore used not(/root/row[column[.=0]) and
not(/root/row[column[normalize-space(.)=''])

Thanks for the fast reply guys!

Sincerely
Daniel

For "exclude those with at least one empty column":

    count(/root/row[not(column[not(normalize-space())])])
    "count rows without columns without space"

For "exclude those with exactly one empty column":

    count(/root/row[not(count(column[not(normalize-space())]=1))])
    "count rows without a single column without space"

I hope this helps.
