<p>Is it possible to use xpaths to populate a data element? For instance when i drag the data element "Location" out of the data set it pulls back the value "New york". What i would like do be able to do is pull the value of Location_ID (216.2) that sits underneath location. Below is a sample of what the xml structure looks like.</p><p> </p><p>Is this possible?</p><p> </p><p><wd:Report_Entry>
<wd:Worker>
<wd:Employee_ID>1234</wd:Employee_ID
<wd:Location wd:Descriptor="New York">
<wd:ID wd:type="WID">1234567891011121314151617178</wd:ID>
<wd:ID wd:type=<strong>"Location_ID">216.2</wd:ID></strong>
</wd:Location></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Thanks in advance</p>
