XSL arithmetic operations...complete newbie to XSL..

[ashvn]

Hi all!

I'm completely new to XSL and I'm trying to do some simple calculations using variables and arithmetic operators. However, I can't figure how to do divide operations. Here's what I'm trying to do:

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;format-number(((($mySecondVar - $myFirstVar) / $myFirstVar)*100), '##0.00')&quot;/>

I can't get the division part to work.

Basically, I'm trying to get the % increase from 'myFirstVar' to 'mySecondVar'. Is there a way to do divisions with XSL, or is there an alternate way to do the calculation?

Thanks in advance!!

Instead of using / to indicate division you need to use the operator &quot;div&quot;.

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;format-number(((($mySecondVar - $myFirstVar) div $myFirstVar)*100), '##0.00')&quot;/>

Hope that helps.
