I have a bunch of data that looks a little like this:
<item>
<colour>Red</colour>
<date_created>2009-10-10 12:01:55</date_created>
<date_sold>2009-10-20 22:32:12</date_sold>
</item>
<item>
<colour>Blue</colour>
<date_created>2009-11-01 13:21:00</date_created>
<date_sold>2009-11-21 12:32:12</date_sold>
</item>
<item>
<colour>Blue</colour>
<date_created>2009-10-29 21:23:02</date_created>
<date_sold>2009-10-20 02:02:22</date_sold>
</item>
<item>
<colour>Red</colour>
<date_created>2009-11-02 09:11:51</date_created>
<date_sold>2009-11-20 09:15:53</date_sold>
</item>
<item>
<colour>Red</colour>
<date_created>2009-10-18 11:00:55</date_created>
<date_sold>2009-10-20 11:12:22</date_sold>
</item>
Now what I would like to be able to do is to run that through an XSLT stylesheet such that I get ouput looking like this:
Colour | In stock 1 week | In stock 2 weeks | In stock 3 weeks
Red | 1 | 3 | 2
Blue | 0 | 2 | 1
Currently I have a stylesheet that uses basic muenchian grouping to show that 30% of stock was Red and 70% blue, but I can't see a way to find the number of nodes withing a given date range.
Is there a way to use keys to select a range? Do I need to create some kind of intermediate data node? Is there a different route that shows I'm barking up the wrong tree with both those suggestions? Is this even possible with XSLT or do I need to find a way to change the data source?
