I am new to XML & XSLT but have got this problem.
I have the following XML file format :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="testing.xsl"?>
<asx:ABAP xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">

What I am trying to do is produce the results like this :-

L24 Reopened    Disease Whithead  1 £ 12,131.80 £ 10,131.80
M21 Reopened    Disease Smellie   1 £ 28,116.90 £ 7,616.90

I have utilised the style sheet from here http://forums.asp.net/p/1449946/3309441.aspx but I can only get it to produce this :-

Reopened    Disease     Whithead    L24
Reopened    Disease     Smellie     M21

This is my style sheet thus far :-

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="1.0">

  <xsl:param name="col-count" select="3"/>

  <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <title>Example</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <table border="1">
          <tbody>
              <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
               <th>Claim Status</th>
               <th>Injury Desc</th>
               <th>Claimant</th>
              </tr>
              <xsl:apply-templates select="//AXIS_DATA/RRWS_SX_AXIS_DATA[2]/SET/RRWS_SX_TUPLE[position() mod $col-count = 1]" mode="row"/>
          </tbody>
        </table>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="RRWS_SX_TUPLE" mode="row">
    <tr>
      <xsl:apply-templates select=". | following-sibling::RRWS_SX_TUPLE[position() &lt; $col-count]" mode="cell"/>
    </tr>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="RRWS_SX_TUPLE" mode="cell">
    <td><xsl:value-of select="CAPTION"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="ATTRIBUTES/RRWS_S_ATTRIBUTES/ATTRIVL"/></td>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The XML file is quite complex I have only shown a little here to show what it is I am trying to do.

Ultimately once I have this working the idea is to convert the XML file into another XML file that has a simple structure :-

<data>
 <variable name="cc">
  <row>
   <column>L24</column>
   <column>Reopened</column>
   <column>Disease</column>
   <column>Whithead</column>
   <column>1</column>
   <column>12,131.80</column>
   <column>10,131.80</column>
  </row>
  <row>
   <column>M21</column>
   <column>Reopened</column>
   <column>Disease</column>
   <column>Smellie</column>
   <column>1</column>
   <column>28,116.90</column>
   <column>7,616.90</column>
  </row>
 </varible>
</data>

Can someone point me in the right direction please or better still provide me with the necessary code?
