XSLT - How to select XML Attribute by Attribute?

Question

this is the structure of my source xml:

<root>
<DataSet Value="A">
<Data Value1="1" Value2="anythingA1" />
<Data Value1="2" Value2="anythingA2" />
<Data Value1="3" Value2="anythingA3" />
<Data Value1="4" Value2="anythingA4" />
<Data Value1="5" Value2="anythingA5" />
</DataSet>
</root>

from which I like to create some variables e.g. from all with Value1="2" and all with Value1="5" should result myVar1 with anythingA2 and myVar2 with anythingA5

My approch looks like this

<xsl:variable name="myVarA" select="/DataSet/Data/[@Value1='2']/@Value2" />

but of course is not working since Value2 is no child of Value1.

thanks for any hints in advance!

Just remove the slash after Data and prepend the root:

<xsl:variable name="myVarA" select="/root/DataSet/Data[@Value1='2']/@Value2"/>
