defined here.

The format consists of two sections:the header section and the data constraints
section.Both sections are required. In the header section, all the entries in column A
must be listed, but a value is required for only one:Template Type, as shown.The
Data Constraints section does not require any content, but also must be present as
shown .
Add the Total
In the Data Constraints section, in Column A, enter the defined name of the cell:
XDO_?TOTAL_CURR_AMT?
In Column B enter the calculation as an XPATH function. To calculate the sum of the
SALARY element for all employees in the group, enter the following:
<?sum(.//CURRENT_AMT)?>
