I am using an XSLT template to convert and format some output from FileMaker to Excel. It works perfectly for all but one column. The data is numeric, but must be output as a string in the format NN.NN. The data field is entered as, for example, 04.13, but when output to Excel, displays as 4.13. There are some cases where the user has input 04 13 (which oututs correctly as it cannot be parsed as a number) but where the user has entered the data correctly into filemaker (the field is Text), i.e. 04.13, I need to ensure the output data remains in the correct format.
I have tried the following, but it does not appear to work as expected - the output file still shows the column values as numbers, ie loses the leading zero:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$xlFieldName='d_Oracle_Task_Code'">
<xsl:variable name="OracleTaskCode" select="fmp:DATA" />
<xsl:value-of select='format-number(OracleTaskCode, "00.00")' />
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
I'm not worried about the cases where the input is missing the decimal point seperator, only ensuring the values are output as text.
Try defining a variable as:
<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>
then use:
<xsl:value-of select="concat($apos, format-number(OracleTaskCode, '00.00'))" />
Another option worth trying would be to define the cell contents as data type string:
<Data ss:Type="String">
....
</Data>
I am afraid I have no means to test either.
My issue was the order in which I checked. I could not get the XSLT to apply the formatting or append the apostrophe until I made my when block the first one in my choose block.
<Style ss:ID="xlTextStyle">
<NumberFormat ss:Format="#"/>
</Style>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$xlFieldName='d_Scheme_Task_Code'">
<xsl:attribute name="ss:StyleID">xlTextStyle</xsl:attribute>
<Data>
<xsl:attribute name="ss:Type">String</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</Data>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$xlFieldType='NUMBER'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test...
I'm now getting the column values correctly formatted using the Text format.

I have an XML file that I want to create a csv file to be opened in MS Excel. The csv file uses commas as its delimiter, but one of the XML nodes has commas in it, And Excel is reading those commas as if they're supposed to be in a seperate cell. So in my example Block 1, Block 1+, Block 5, Block 5 Exportable instead of keeping this content in one cell each comma is treated as a new cell for each comma, when opened in Excel. I've tried using tab characters to delimit the csv, but that doesn't work. I've also tried encloseing the node in quotes.
How can I make the string with multiple commas to fill just one cell?
XML:
<dmodule>
<title>ABC DEF</title>
<applic id="UHK97000-10_UHK97000-12_UHK97000-15_UHK97000-17_UHK97000-18_UHK97000-20_UHK97000-21">
<displayText>
<simplePara>Block 1, Block 1+, Block 5, Block 5 Exportable</simplePara>
</displayText>
</applic>
<tminfo>Text that should appear in the next column
</tminfo>
</dmodule>
XSLT:
<xsl:value-of select="title"/><!-- tab char --> <xsl:value-of select="simplePara> <xsl:value-of select="tminfo"><!-- new line char -->
I've also tried excaping the comma character and surrounding it in double quotes, but I wasn't able to get my code to run.
XSLT:
<xsl:variable name="keepCommas">
<xsl:for-each select="simplePara">
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('"['simplePara,',']"')"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
This code didn't render any output at all.
I'm limited to XSLT version 1.0
Microsoft 365 - Excel
AFAICT all you need to do is simply:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="dmodule">
<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
<xsl:text>","</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="applic/displayText/simplePara"/>
<xsl:text>","</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="tminfo"/>
<xsl:text>"
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I declared a variable with a simple Excel formula (not the formula I will eventually use, just something simple for testing)
<xsl:variable name="nistcci" ss:Formula="=RC19"></xsl:variable>
Then I am trying to use a Choose to determine if the attribute data is empty, then return based on that determination.
<Cell ss:StyleID="stig_rules"> <!-- IA Control(s) -->
<Data ss:Type="String">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="STIG_DATA/VULN_ATTRIBUTE[node()='IA_Controls']/../ATTRIBUTE_DATA != ''">
<xsl:value-of select="STIG_DATA/VULN_ATTRIBUTE[node()='IA_Controls']/../ATTRIBUTE_DATA" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$nistcci"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</Data>
This works if I do something simple like:
<xsl:variable name="nistcci">sean</xsl:variable>
But isn't working with a formula within a referenced variable.
Thanks for the help. Sean.
It's not clear what you want your variable to contain.
It is quite clear that the xsl:variable instruction cannot have a ss:Formula attribute, or any other attribute except select and (in XSLT 2.0) as.
Your variable needs to be constructed as:
<xsl:variable name="myVar" select="myExpr"/>
where myExpr must be a valid XPath expression.
Alternatively, you could use something like:
<xsl:variable name="myVar">
<xsl:attribute name="ss:Formula">=RC19</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:variable>
to construct a variable that holds an attribute.
Creating an XSL to translate XML into Excel. Part of that is a formula which performs a lookup on another worksheet. However, I want to transform/translate the return, so I figured an xsl:choose would be best.
But I don't know how to reference my ss:Formula inside the xsl:choose?
<Cell ss:StyleID="RARs17"
ss:Formula="=INDEX('{$vhostname}'!R2C6:R{$vuln_count+7}C6,MATCH(RC3,'{$vhostname}'!R2C14:R{$vuln_count+7}C14,0))>
<Data ss:Type="String">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="ss:Formula = 'NF'">Completed</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="ss:Formula = 'NR'">NR</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="ss:Formula = 'O'">Ongoing</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="ss:Formula = 'NA'">NA</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="ss:Formula" /></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose></Data>
</Cell> <!-- Status, looks up Result -->
You cannot refer to nodes of the output tree. Define the formula as a variable and use that in the attribute as well as in the expression.
Edit
I probably misunderstood what you meant by "reference my ss:Formula". If you want to consider the result of the actual lookup as performed by Excel, that won't work - for reasons explained by Tim C in his comment.
You could, however, perform the lookup yourself using XSLT methods such as key.
I am processing this XML:
<Brand>
<Brand_Name>BLENDERM</Brand_Name>
<Brand_Code>1103</Brand_Code>
<Groups>
<Group>
<Group_Code>657</Group_Code>
<Parent_Code>0</Parent_Code>
<Group_Level>1</Group_Level>
<Group_Name>Brand Default</Group_Name>
<Product>
<Pip_code>0032359</Pip_code>
<Status>In Use</Status>
Using this XSLT:
<xsl:template match="Product" mode="phase-3">
<xsl:value-of select="document('rx_catmapping.xml')/descendant::mapping[source=substring(ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name,1,1)]/target"/>
</xsl:template>
Here is a sample of rx_catmapping.xml:
<Lookup xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<mapping>
<source>a</source>
<target>788</target>
</mapping>
<mapping>
<source>B</source>
<target>789</target>
</mapping>
</Lookup>
So, I am processing the Product element, which is a descendant of Brand. The first letter of Brand/Brand_Name in this case is B, and I am trying to output the value 789 by looking it up in rx_catmapping.xml. This should be really simple but I am completely stumped! I have tried changing the first part of the XPath to refer to document('rx_catmapping.xml')/Lookup/mapping, or document('rx_catmapping.xml')//mapping. I have also tried changing the first half of the comparison to string(source), or to source/text(), but neither of these works either. (The reason for trying this was that using source='B', for example, did seem to work, so I wondered if I was trying to compare two incompatible data types.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Define a key
<xsl:key name="k1" match="mapping" use="source"/>
then use
<xsl:variable name="map-doc" select="document('rx_catmapping.xml')"/>
and
<xsl:variable name="letter" select="substring(ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name,1,1)"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$map-doc">
<xsl:value-of select="key('k1', $letter)/target"/>
</xsl:for-each>
With XSLT 2.0 you can simplify that to
<xsl:value-of select="key('k1', substring(ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name,1,1), $map-doc)"/>
The problem is, I believe, that at the point where you do ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name, the context is the mapping element in the external file. This worked for me
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select=".//Product"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Product">
<xsl:variable name="x" select="substring(ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name,1,1)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="document('file:///c:/temp/rx_catmapping.xml')//mapping[source=$x]/target"/>
</xsl:template>
I'm using a "choice" site column with the multiple-check option enabled so that users can tag a list item with several choices from the column.
This column then powers a design feature in a content query webpart - where the column choice is appended to create an image filename.
Choice1
Choice2
Choice3
Choice4
becomes
<img src="http://mysite/content-Choice1.jpg />
The problem I've got is that the XSL parser is fed a string which has semicolons (;) and hashes (#) separating the choice values. If all 4 options were ticked, the string fed into the XSLT parser would be:
;#Choice1;#Choice2;#Choice3;#Choice4
How can I work through the string and separate each choice into its own XSL variable?
I've tried various substring-before functions, but I can't get anything working.
Since XPath 1.0 does not support the tokenize() function, you'll have to do all the work yourself. For instance, you can generate the <img> elements recursively from the choices:
<xsl:template name="RecurseConvertChoicesToImages">
<xsl:param name="choices" />
<xsl:variable name="token"
select="substring-before($choices, ';#')" />
<xsl:variable name="nextToken"
select="substring-after($choices, ';#')" />
<xsl:if test="$token">
<img src="http://mysite/content-{$token}.jpg" />
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$nextToken">
<xsl:call-template name="RecurseConvertChoicesToImages">
<xsl:with-param name="choices" select="$nextToken" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
I would recommend to use JavaScript to parse the string and accordingly display the image using JavaScript.
