It’s showing it up as blank data. Maybe I’m not sure how this foreach works.

    Your xsl:for-each already matches the expenseReport/technicalInfo nodes, therfore inside the loop you need only match the current node as such:

    <xsl:for-each select="expenseReport/technicalInfo">
  <tr>

    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="date"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="desc"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="miles"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="milage"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="airfare"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="other"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="meals"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="conf"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="misc"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="code"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="total"/>
    </td>
  </tr>
</xsl:for-each>
