Question

I know you can create a basic view to do this, but what I really need is a query in the XSLT Data View that will show all the records where @Status = ‘Open’ and @Created < 30 days ago.

I intend on displaying a chart that shows the count of how long tasks have been sitting in the pipe without being worked on. So, what I did was created an XSLT Data View that filters the data source to only pull out items that are still Open. Then in the xsl, I just want to do something like:

<xsl:variable name="THIRTYdaysCount" select="count(/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row[normalize-space(@Created) &lt; $THIRTYdays])" />

I don’t think that will work because the data needs to be formatted and I cant get $THIRTYdays to work either. Anyone able to show me an example on how I should be doing this?

Answer 1

I went with a really ugly date to string and compare method:

    <xsl:variable name="THIRTYdaysDate">
        <xsl:call-template name="SubMonth">
                        <xsl:with-param name="StartDate" select="ddwrt:TodayIso()" />
                        <xsl:with-param name="MonthsToAdd" select="1" />
        </xsl:call-template>    
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="SIXTYdaysDate">
        <xsl:call-template name="SubMonth">
                        <xsl:with-param name="StartDate" select="ddwrt:TodayIso()" />
                        <xsl:with-param name="MonthsToAdd" select="2" />
        </xsl:call-template>    
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="NINETYdaysDate">
        <xsl:call-template name="SubMonth">
                        <xsl:with-param name="StartDate" select="ddwrt:TodayIso()" />
                        <xsl:with-param name="MonthsToAdd" select="3" />
        </xsl:call-template>    
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="THIRTYdays" select="count(/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row[number(concat(substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),0,5), 
                substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),5,2),
                substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),7,2))) &gt;= $THIRTYdaysDate])" />
<xsl:variable name="SIXTYdays" select="count(/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row[number(concat(substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),0,5), 
                substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),5,2),
                substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),7,2))) &gt;= $SIXTYdaysDate])" />
<xsl:variable name="NINETYdays" select="count(/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row[number(concat(substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),0,5), 
                substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),5,2),
                substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),7,2))) &gt;= $NINETYdaysDate])" />
<xsl:variable name="GREATERdays" select="count(/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row[number(concat(substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),0,5), 
                substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),5,2),
                substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@Created), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd'),7,2))) &lt; $NINETYdaysDate])" />
<xsl:variable name="AllTasks" select="count(/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row)" />
