Hi Lakshmi,

I've attached an example FinalBuilder project which will read the 'total' attribute value from the 'Counters' node.

Let me know if you need any more help. XmlExample.fbz6 (2.215 KB)

Hi Lakshmi,

You'll need to use the 'Simple Maths' action that was added in FinalBuilder 6.2 [https://www.finalbuilder.com/download.aspx](https://www.finalbuilder.com/download.aspx) . Attached is the project with the 'Set Variable' replaced with the 'Simple Maths' action.

Paul.
