    Hi all,

    Does anyone know how to filter duplicate records with xpath??
    I have the following XML. Only difference is the price between those two! And i only need one record.

    <product ID="2300">
<name>title</name>
<price currency="EUR">174.00</price>
</product>

<product ID="2300">
<name>title</name>
<price currency="EUR">164.00</price>
</product>

    I have tried following xpath statement but WPALIMPORT gives me 0 records in the preview!

    /product[not(@ID=preceding-sibling::product/@ID)]/@ID

    Hi edat2005.

    XPath probably isn’t the best way to go about this. Instead, I would suggest that you use the ID attribute as the unique identifier during step 4 in order to only bring in one of these records.
