For example, there is a long sentence in Cell A1, see the following screenshot. And now you need to find the 3rd occurrence or position of Character c from the text string in Cell A1. Of course, you can count the characters one by one, and get the exact position result.
XPath, the XML Path Language, is a query language for selecting nodes from an XML document.

XPath is used programmatically to evaluate expressions and select specific nodes in a document. Create an XPath expression to find the average cost of a book. 2  This XPath expression returns a single value. 3  For full details on XPath syntax, see XPath Syntax in the References section.
