Re: [xsl] XSL 1.0 - sum values taken from corresponding column

["Eliot Kimber ekimber@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that in XSLT 1 the only solution would be to use sibling recursion:

<xsl:template name="sumcells">
  <xsl:param name="inSum"/>
  <xsl:variable name="sum" select="$inSum + number(.)"/>
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="count(following-sibling::cell) = 0">
      <xsl:value=of select="$sum"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:for-each select="following-sibling:cell[1]">
       <xsl:with-param name="inSum" select="$sum"/>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,

E.
