Hi,

Again This have to ask you people for help because I'm stuck.

This is an abstract of what my input looks like:

<row>
     <cell>
      <absatz>Sozialversicherung (1.650,00 * 18,07 %)</absatz>
     </cell>
     <cell index="3">  </cell>
     <cell>  </cell>
     <cell index="6">
      <absatz>298.16</absatz>
     </cell>
</row>

So the index of a<cell>  says what its position in a<row>  should be.
My desired output is:

<row>
     <cell>
      <absatz>Sozialversicherung (1.650,00 * 18,07 %)</absatz>
     </cell>
     <cell></cell>
     <cell index="3">  </cell>
     <cell>  </cell>
     <cell></cell>
     <cell index="6">
      <absatz>298.16</absatz>
     </cell>
</row>

NOTE: It's not sure that there are always 2 cells with @index. Could be
more or less too.

I've tried this:
<xsl:template match="cell[@index]">
   <xsl:variable name="prec_cells"
select="xs:integer(count(preceding-sibling::cell[not(@index)]) +
sum(preceding-sibling::cell/@index))"/>
		
	<xsl:for-each select="1 to xs:integer((@index - 1) -
$prec_cells)">
		<entry>
			<absatz/>
		</entry>
	</xsl:for-each>
		<entry>
			<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</entry>
</xsl:template>

Unfortunately this only works for 1<cell> with @index per<row>.

Can anyone tell me how to solve that ?!

Kind regards
