Thanks!

It works in your example. But for my example, how can
I filter out the member "acc12"?

<xsl:template match="*[preceding-sibling::Member[@name
='acc1']/Member[@name='acc11']]"/>

It filtered members "acc2" and "acc3" instead of
"acc12" and its child "acc121"?

Here is the source XML:

<D>
<Member comment="" name="acc1">
		<Calc>+</Calc>
		<Member comment="" name="acc11">
			<Calc>+</Calc>
			<Member name="account3_1"/>
		</Member>
		<Member comment="" name="acc12">
			<Calc>+</Calc>
			<Member name="acc121"/>
		</Member>
</Member>
<Member comment="" name="acc2">
		<Calc>+</Calc>
	</Member>
	<Member comment="" name="acc3">
		<Calc>+</Calc>
		<Member comment="" name="acc31">
			<Calc>+</Calc>
		</Member>
		<Member comment="" name="acc32">
			<Calc>+</Calc>
		</Member>
</Member>
</D>
