Project Statement XML Web Part

The Project Statement XML web part allows you to pull data from multiple columns in the Project Statement and render it accordingly, including using conditional formatting and performing calculations. This is done by means of XSL. The Project Statement Costs and Project Statement Dates web parts are working examples of the Project Statement XML web part.

In order to use this web part you need to be proficient in XSL. If you have written code for the SharePoint XML web part it is very similar.
