Hi, ... ->I solved it with the following template (this assumes that the data is ->ordered by customer): -> -><xsl:template match="row"> -> <xsl:choose> -> <xsl:when test="customer = preceding::row[position()=1]/customer"> -> <td> </td> -> </xsl:when> -> <xsl:otherwise> -> <td><xsl:value-of select="customer"/> -> </xsl:otherwise> -> </xsl:choose> -> <td><xsl:value-of select="account"/></td> -></xsl:template> -> ->Now I'm glad it works, but for some peace of mind I would ->like to know why -><xsl:when test="customer = preceding::row[position()=1]/customer"> ->behaves as it does? You take the preceding axis gives you the elements before your element in reverse order, the element directly before your current element is the one you get first. And because your input is sorted that's why your stylesheet works... ->Thanks in advance, ->Christian Schmitt bye Frank - Frank Spychalski Research Engineer SAP Labs, Palo Alto frank.spychalski@xxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
