Hi there,

I'm attempting to grab player statistics based on a players name, but the Sportradar data we're using changes the players main ID (based on column info) every time the data refreshes. Would there be a way within Data Source to grab that data based on a players name rather than the column number that keeps changing? (this is referencing column name "team\player_records\player<4>" the "4" is the ID that keeps changing daily.

<player id="435312d6-0f24-11e2-8525-18a905767e44" full_name="Mark Scheifele" first_name="Mark" last_name="Scheifele" position="F" primary_position="C" jersey_number="55" sr_id="sr:player:180859" reference="8476460">
<statistics><total games_played="3" goals="0" assists="3" penalties="1" penalty_minutes="2" shots="7" blocked_att="3" missed_shots="4" hits="0" giveaways="1" takeaways="4" blocked_shots="2" faceoffs_won="22" faceoffs_lost="20" winning_goals="0" plus_minus="2" games_scratched="4" games_started="2" shooting_pct="0.0" faceoff_win_pct="52.4" faceoffs="42" points="3" overtime_goals="0" overtime_assists="0" overtime_shots="0" penalties_major="0" penalties_minor="1" penalties_misconduct="0" emptynet_goals="0"><powerplay shots="3" goals="0" missed_shots="0" assists="1" faceoffs_won="5" faceoffs="5" faceoffs_lost="0" faceoff_win_pct="100.0"/><shorthanded shots="0" goals="0" missed_shots="0" assists="0" faceoffs_won="0" faceoffs="0" faceoffs_lost="0" faceoff_win_pct="0.0"/><evenstrength shots="4" goals="0" missed_shots="4" assists="2" faceoffs_won="17" faceoffs="37" faceoffs_lost="20" faceoff_win_pct="45.9"/><penalty shots="0" goals="0" missed_shots="0"/><shootout shots="0" goals="0" missed_shots="0"/></total><average assists="1.0" blocked_shots="0.67" points="1.0" blocked_att="1.0" penalties="0.33" missed_shots="1.33" hits="0.0" shots="2.33" takeaways="1.33" giveaways="0.33" goals="0.0" penalty_minutes="0.67"/></statistics><time_on_ice><total shifts="60" total="53:01" overtime="00:00" powerplay="7:37" shorthanded="00:35" evenstrength="44:49"/><average shifts="20.0" total="17:40" overtime="00:00" powerplay="2:32" shorthanded="00:12" evenstrength="14:56"/></time_on_ice>
</player>

I believe that can be done with referencing it as "team\player_records\player<full_name=Mark Scheifele>" or probably "\player<jersey_number=55>"

I'm having the same type of questions, however my XML feed is formatted "unconventionally".

I'm using HockeyTech as a stat supplier. My XML feed looks like this: 

And when you select the item, it looks like this:

I want to be able to select the Statviewtype based on what the jersey number is, but the value isn't contained in a "row". It's almost as if this format is missing a child in the XML format.

Is there a way to insert a variable number inside Datalinq? Like this:

Statviewtype<variableNumberHere>\<jersey_number=38>

@Wes Keeley

So based on that tree, I think the selection would look like this:

Column: Statviewtype<jersey_number=38>
Row: Whatever you want

And you could actually replace 38 with a datalinq key in your scene (So %jersey% would replace 38) that way you can program the scene to be generic and have the actual take item dictate what player is called.

Mind sending some sample XML data?

Zachary you're a genius. That's working perfectly. Thanks for your quick help.

Here's a link to the stat feed xml. I'm using it for player stat graphics and this data feed is new to me this year.
