I want to extract unique values of element i tried for-each with following-sibling but it is not working
Main problem is that I don't know how to get distinct values using XSLT 1.0 or 2.0
Here is Source XML example i am using
<Items>
<Item>
<Itemno>112</Itemno>
<itemname>abc</itemname>
<qun>5</qun>
<loc>US</loc>
</Item>
</Items>
<Items>
<Item>
<Itemno>112</Itemno>
<itemname>abc</itemname>
<qun>6</qun>
<loc>UK</loc>
</Item>
</Items>
<Items>
<Item>
<Itemno>112</Itemno>
<itemname>abc</itemname>
<qun>11</qun>
<loc>GER</loc>
</Item>
</Items>
<Items>
<Item>
<Itemno>114</Itemno>
<itemname>lkj</itemname>
<qun>1</qun>
<loc>IND</loc>
</Item>
</Items>
Required Output
<Order>
<Item>
<Itemno>112</Itemno>
<itemname>abc</itemname>
<Desc>
<qun>5</qun>
<loc>US</loc>
</Desc>
<Desc>
<qun>6</qun>
<loc>UK</loc>
</Desc>
<Desc>
<qun>11</qun>
<loc>GER</loc>
</Desc>
</Item>
<Item>
<Itemno>114</Itemno>
<itemname>lkj</itemname>
<Desc>
<qun>1</qun>
<loc>IND</loc>
</Desc>
</Item>
</Order>
In xslt 2.0 you can for grouping by Itemno use for-each-group. As example you can use this code
<xsl:template match="Items">
<Order>
<xsl:for-each-group select="//Item" group-by="Itemno">
<Item>
<xsl:copy-of select="Itemno"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="itemname"/>
<xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
<Desc>
<xsl:copy-of select="qun"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="loc"/>
</Desc>
</xsl:for-each>
</Item>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</Order>
</xsl:template>
The result of it is xml that you need

I have a list of values that I need to summarize distinct item quantities. A simple version would look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Items xmlns:boomi="http://boomi.com/custom-function">
<Item>
<id>801</id>
<qty>0</qty>
</Item>
<Item>
<id>802</id>
<qty>1</qty>
</Item>
<Item>
<id>802</id>
<qty>1</qty>
</Item>
</Items>
I'm using the following XSLT
<Items>
<xsl:for-each select="distinct-values(/Items/Item/id)" >
<Item>
<id>
<xsl:value-of select="current()" />
</id>
</Item>
</xsl:for-each>
</Items>
To generate the following document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Items xmlns:boomi="http://boomi.com/custom-function">
<Item>
<id>801</id>
</Item>
<Item>
<id>802</id>
</Item>
</Items>
But I also need to include quantities. I've tried a few things, this being the closest, but doesn't work:
<Items>
<xsl:for-each select="distinct-values(/Items/Item/id)" >
<Item>
<id>
<xsl:value-of select="current()" />
<xsl:value-of select="sum(/Items/Item[id=current()]/qty)" />
</id>
</Item>
</xsl:for-each>
</Items>
I think it's not working because current() is an actual node? I'm trying to get to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Items xmlns:boomi="http://boomi.com/custom-function">
<Item>
<id>801</id>
<qty>0</qty>
</Item>
<Item>
<id>802</id>
<qty>2</qty>
</Item>
</Items>
Am I going about this in completely the wrong way? Thanks.
Here is the(a) solution using XSLT 2.0 indicated by michael.hor257k
<xsl:stylesheet version="3.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:boomi="http://boomi.com/custom-function">
<xsl:template match="/">
<Items>
<xsl:for-each-group select="/Items/Item" group-by="id" >
<Item>
<id>
<xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()" />
</id>
<qty>
<xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/qty)" />
</qty>
</Item>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</Items>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
input:
<Move-Afile>
<Afile>
<Item>
<suppliercode>1</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>1234</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>12</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
<Item>
<suppliercode>2</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>567</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>3</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
<Item>
<suppliercode>1</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>567</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>8</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
<Item>
<suppliercode>3</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>126</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>11</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
<Item>
<suppliercode>4</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>876</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>32</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
</Afile>
</Move-Afile>
xslt:
i need the solution like the xsl should contain for-each structure like below.
If supplier codes are equal then we have to sum the quantity values of those nodes,otherwise directly map the quantity value.
<xsl:for-each select="/Move-Afile/Afile/Item">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="suppliercode=suppliercode>
<xsl:value-of select=sum(Quantity)"/><!-- sum of quantity where nodes have equal supplier code-->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="Quantity"/><!-- map directly the quantity value-->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
output:
<A>
<target>
<Item>
<Quantity>20</Quantity>
</Item>
<Item>
<Quantity>3</Quantity>
</Item>
<Item>
<Quantity>20</Quantity>
</Item>
<Item>
<Quantity>11</Quantity>
</Item>
<Item>
<Quantity>32</Quantity>
</Item>
</target>
</A>
You don't really need an xsl:choose here, just a single sum statement to sum all Quantity elements for Item elements with the same suppliercode (which include the current node you are on).
<xsl:value-of select="sum(//Item[suppliercode = current()/suppliercode]/Item85/Quantity)"/>
However, it would be more efficient to make use of a key to look for matching Item elements:
<xsl:key name="Item" match="Item" use="suppliercode" />
Then the sum statement is simplified to this
<xsl:value-of select="sum(key('Item', suppliercode)/Item85/Quantity)"/>
You might also like to consider using the XSLT identity transform in building your output XML, as this would be more flexible. You would probably only need a template matching the Quantity element in this case
Try this XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:key name="Item" match="Item" use="suppliercode" />
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Quantity">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="sum(key('Item', ../../suppliercode)/Item85/Quantity)"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When applied to your XML, the following is output
<Move-Afile>
<Afile>
<Item>
<suppliercode>1</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>1234</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>20</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
<Item>
<suppliercode>2</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>567</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>3</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
<Item>
<suppliercode>1</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>567</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>20</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
<Item>
<suppliercode>3</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>126</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>11</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
<Item>
<suppliercode>4</suppliercode>
<PackNumber>876</PackNumber>
<Item85>
<Quantity>32</Quantity>
</Item85>
</Item>
</Afile>
</Move-Afile>
If you do want to change or remove other elements, just add separate templates for each case accordingly.
I'm trying to wrap my head around this and I think the easiest way to explain it is to just show you, below. I've seen this but it doesn't always apply due to the fact I have standalone items also at the end which would match.
The seemingly tricky part is Whatever3 to Whatever6, and then Whatever7 and Whatever8, then finally the new position of Whatever9 - they need to be grouped and the original sequence maintained. (Ignore my naming, there is no way to use xsl:sort)
I've considered xsl:for-each with xsl:if inside, but issue is you can't guarantee how many "groups" vs "non-group" items there are.
Thanks!

When this XSLT 2.0 transformation is applied on the same XML document (above), the same correct result is produced.
I need to split the following XML file based on a predetermined value, for this example, lets assume I want to limit the "Item" node to three (3) within each file created.
Here's a sample input XML file:
<Items>
<Item>
<Title>Title 1</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2008</DueDate>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>Title 2</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2009</DueDate>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>Title 3</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2010</DueDate>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>Title 4</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2011</DueDate>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>Title 5</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2012</DueDate>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>Title 6</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2013</DueDate>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>Title 7</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2013</DueDate>
</Item>
</Items>
The desired output based on the threshold value of 3, would be three files, two of which contain 3 "Item", and the last one containing the remaining "items", which would be one.
Here's a sample of my XSLT which does allow me to split them for each item, which results into seven separate files, however, what I desire is to limit the size of the file based on a certain limit of "Item" node per file.
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" name="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//Item">
<xsl:variable name="nTitle" select="Title"/>
<xsl:variable name="filename" select="concat('Items\',$nTitle,'-','.xml')" />
<xsl:value-of select="$filename" />
<xsl:result-document href="{$filename}" format="xml">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="pItemsNumber" select="3"/>
<xsl:template match="Items">
<xsl:for-each-group select="Item"
group-adjacent="(position()-1) idiv $pItemsNumber">
<xsl:result-document href="Items\{current-grouping-key()}.xml">
<Items>
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/>
</Items>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Items>
<Item>
<Title>Title 1</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2008</DueDate>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>Title 2</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2009</DueDate>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>Title 3</Title>
<DueDate>01-02-2010</DueDate>
</Item>
</Items>

Do note:
This is a simple application of the identity rule pattern.
Every Item starting a new file is matched and it causes the wrapping in a top element, processing of itself and the next $pSplitNum -1 (or whatever remains in the last group), and outputting this as a single result-document (file).
The name of every file created is: "filex-y.xml", where x and y are the starting and ending indexes of the Item elements written in the file.
Every Item that isn't starting a new file is deleted by an empty matching template. Such elements are processed in "copy" mode.
You could implement a counter that is declared outside of your loop. When the counter hits 3, reset it and set a new filename. Otherwise, increment and append to the existing filename.
I need to transform the incoming XML so that I can extract all "item" with "categorie" is equal "two" and move these into a separate "records" node with an attribute initialized as type="two".
Here's a sample of the incoming XML.
<datafeed>
<records type="one">
<purchases>
<items>
<item>
<categorie>one</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
<item>
<categorie>two</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
<item>
<categorie>one</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>

Here's what I would like:
<datafeed>
<records type="one">
<purchases>
<items>
<item>
<categorie>one</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
<item>
<categorie>one</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
</items>
</purchases>
</records>
<records type="two">
<purchases>
<items>
<item>
<categorie>two</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
<item>
<categorie>two</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
</items>
</purchases>
</records>
<exchange/>
<context/>
<pilotage/>
</datafeed>
I now have two "records" both initialize with it's predefined type (always one or two). The records that were extracted, were moved, hence deleted from the original record.
Thanks
This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:key name="kitemByCategory" match="item"
use="categorie"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|#*" name="identity">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="records">
<xsl:call-template name="identity"/>
<xsl:variable name="vCat2Items" select=
"key('kitemByCategory', 'two')"/>
<xsl:if test="$vCat2Items">
<records type="two">
<purchases>
<items>
<xsl:copy-of select="$vCat2Items"/>
</items>
</purchases>
</records>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item[categorie = 'two']"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the provided XML document, produces the wanted, correct result:
<datafeed>
<records type="one">
<purchases>
<items>
<item>
<categorie>one</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
<item>
<categorie>one</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
</items>
</purchases>
</records>
<records type="two">
<purchases>
<items>
<item>
<categorie>two</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
<item>
<categorie>two</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
</items>
</purchases>
</records>
<exchange/>
<context/>
<pilotage/>
</datafeed>
Do note:
The use and overriding of the identity rule.
How items of categorie "two" are excluded from processing by using an empty template matching them.
The use of keys for efficient and convenient locationg of items by categorie.
With this stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:key name="itemsBycategorie" match="item" use="categorie"/>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:param name="items"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()">
<xsl:with-param name="items" select="$items"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="records">
<xsl:variable name="me" select="."/>
<xsl:for-each select="*/*/*[count(.|key('itemsBycategorie',categorie)[1])=1]">
<records type="{categorie}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$me/node()">
<xsl:with-param name="items" select="key('itemsBycategorie',categorie)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</records>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="items">
<xsl:param name="items"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$items"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Result:
<datafeed>
<records type="one">
<purchases>
<items>
<item>
<categorie>one</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
<item>
<categorie>one</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
</item>
</items>
</purchases>
</records>
<records type="two">

<item>
<categorie>two</categorie>
<intrant>String</intrant>
