I am using an XSLT file to convert data in a DataSet to XMLSS format
for opening in Excel. Excel doesn't like the way Dates in the DataSet
are being ouput. It appears that a timezone offset is being appended
to the datetime; e.g., instead of "2003-08-26T00:00:00.000 0000" I am
getting "2003-08-26T00:00:00.000 0000-07:00" in the output. If I could
just get rid of the trailing "-07:00" in the output, I would be all
set. I'm guessing this must be easy to do in XSLT, but I am far from
an XSLT expert... Thanks for any advice!

Such text processing isn't that easy to do in XSLT. I'd suggest using EXSLT
for MSXML or the .NET Framework which comes with a number of functions that
make text processing easier.

Thanks for mentioning EXSLT for MSXML4.
EXSLT for MSXML4 does not implement the date-time functions of EXSLT. It
implements the functions from the Sets module:
intersection()
difference()
has-same-node()
distinct()
leading()
trailing()
and the node-set() function from the Common module.
In the case of MSXML I would recommend the native XSLT 1.0 datetime_lib.xs l
library, which can be downloaded as part of the trial version of Xselerator.

Well, for dates I ended up using substring to trim the end off:
<xsl:value-of select="substri ng(EffectiveDat e,1,27)"/>
For booleans I had to convert to 1/0 using choose:
<xsl:choose><xs l:when
test="Some_Fl=' true'">1</xsl:when><xsl:o therwise>0</xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose>
To handle NULLs in the data was another story. SSXML doesn't want the
cell at all if there is no data, so I ended up hardcoding the INDEX
(column number) property into every cell and then dynamically
determining if the cell should be output at all:
<xsl:if test="SomeNulla bleColumn"><Cel l ss:Index="6"
ss:StyleID="s32 "><Data ss:Type="Number "><xsl:valu e-of
select="SomeNul lableColumn"/></Data></Cell></xsl:if>
The other thing I had to do was to set the Namespace property of the
DataSet to an empty string. Because it is a typed-dataset, the
generated code was setting the namespace and the XSLT transform was
not recognizing the dataset and table names. I probably could have
found another way to handle this, but this seemed to be the simplest
in order to work from other examples using (non-typed) DataSets...
