How do i copy all xml and exclude the DataSeriesBodyType element
You just have to use the identity template (as you were using) and then use a template matching DataSeriesBodyType which does nothing.
The code would be:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>
<!-- Identity template : copy all text nodes, elements and attributes -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- When matching DataSeriesBodyType: do nothing -->
<xsl:template match="DataSeriesBodyType" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
If you want to normalize the output to remove empty data text nodes, then add to the previous stylesheet the following template:
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()" />
</xsl:template>
