Hi Jan,

You can do that with the sum() function - something like this (assuming 'votes' is a property):

<xsl:value-of select="sum(//data[@alias = 'votes'])" />

or, if you're using Umbraco 4.5:

<xsl:value-of select="sum(//votes)" />

It's a 'heavy' call because of the descendant axis, but having no further details regarding the structure, this is how you'd do it.

I need to point the macro somehow to read from a specific page structure ?
My folders are as such

Root
        Webpage (only visible page)
                PollList
                      Poll
                            Group 1 (contains property "votes")
                            Group 2 (contains property "votes")
                            Group 3 (contains property "votes")
                            Group 4 (contains property "votes")

i need to get the values from the groups (they contain a property with a numerial value)
so how do i write the macro to pick up the values from all "pages" under the poll folder

none of these pages are visible its only the webpage itself that has a macro that shows the poll results - (a package i installed which unfortunately doesnt add up total value)

hope you can help thanx!

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1363)/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">

<xsl:value-of select="sum(//data[@alias = 'votes'])" />

</xsl:for-each>

this is what i have gotten so far - unfortunately it shows the results Each time for each vote type. need to only show it once

Thanx a bunch Chriztian that did it

is working on a reply...
