Hello. I'm trying to develop a dynamic report that will display
specific statistics about a given data set. The simplest example is
included below.

I'm iterating through the set and displaying the unique values of a
particular element (in the first column). Then, in the second column
I'm showing just a percentage of those values over the entire set
(part/whole %). The challenge is that I'm running into problems on this
line:
count(/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row[normalize-space(@Status) =
'$uniqueStatus']/@ID)

It seems that "$uniqueStatus" is evaluated as a string -- not a
variable.

The question is, how do I access the value of the variable from here?

Another note... @Status has the same value as $uniqueStatus here. I
need to access one or the other.

I don't know if it's relevant, but this is from a SharePoint (WSS)
list.

Thanks!
