Hi,

CEIL will give you the minimum integer value, eg 2.50 + 1 gives you 3.50 using CEIL you will get 3

COUNTER is used to count the occurences of the element/node, eg counter starts with 1 and you are incrementing it with 1. suppose you use counter for your node and you have 3 occurences of that node than Node1 value is 1, Node2 value is 2, Node3 value is 3.

hope it helps

Hello,

Ceil O = The smallest possible integer value (up to minus 'infiniteu2019) that is not smaller than the argument I. Corresponds to the Java function java.lang.Math.ceil().

Counter O = Number of calls for this target-field mapping where you specify the initial value and the increment of the counter in the function properties.

If you want to get the no. of times a particular field/node is appearing in any XML, you can use this function.
