I am not sure I understand what you want to achieve. If you want XML to 
be a part of an attribute value then you need to escape the XML e.g. 
like this stylesheet does

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

<xsl:template match="dataset">
   <Row>
     <xsl:attribute name="firstattribute"><xsl:apply-templates 
select="." mode="serialize" /></xsl:attribute>
   </Row>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="serialize">
   <xsl:text>&lt;</xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of select="name()" />
   <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" mode="serialize" />
   <xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
   <xsl:apply-templates mode="serialize" />
   <xsl:text>&lt;/</xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of select="name()" />
   <xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*" mode="serialize">
   <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of select="concat(name(), '=&quot;', ., '&quot;')" />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Applied to your XML sample the result is then

<Row firstattribute="&lt;dataset id=&quot;dataset_1&quot; 
name=&quot;Client - number unplanned&quot;&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_1&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_2&quot; value=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_3&quot; value=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_4&quot; value=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_5&quot; value=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_6&quot; value=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_7&quot; value=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_8&quot; value=&quot;8&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_9&quot; value=&quot;9&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_10&quot; 
value=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_11&quot; 
value=&quot;11&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;data 
id=&quot;dataset_1_12&quot; 
value=&quot;12&quot;&gt;&lt;/data&gt;&lt;/dataset&gt;"></Row>
