I need help in changing the XSL code

[Hennie Coertze]

Good day,
My knowledge of XML is next to none and I only have one XSL code to use.
I also assume I may be using incorrect jargon and hope you will
understand what I need.

I have an XSL style sheet to convert the XML flat file. I need to
change the style sheet so it groups certain data together under one
heading. I need to be able to do this as the system I upload the file
to do not accept the information as presented and continuously gives me
an error. What I am trying to say is that the “result” information
under “sample” grouped together where the “sample” information is the
same.

Your assistance is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hennie

The format it requires is as follow:
