Filtering records

[scotth4v]

Hi gang,

More bugtracker questions

I have a query that returns a list of names. If the people meet the search criterion on more than one occasion, their name will be on the list multiple times. Is there a way in the XSL to filter it so that it only returns their name once.

One thought was to dynamically loop through the list and set an XSL variable for each person (<xsl:variable name=&quot;johndoe_written&quot;>false</xsl:variable>), then use a choose statement and look to see if it's false, if so, diplay the naeme and set it variable to &quot;true&quot;, otherwise don't write it. That seems doable, but really intensive. Is there a better way?

Thanks a bunch!

Hello,
<xsl:key> will do the task to show only distinct values.
See thread426-101326.
Post again your code if this is not suitable to your needs.

Awesome, I think that would apply! I'll give it a whirl!
