Click on text using xpath and selenium python

Normally I use the xpath to click on text of webpages. But now maybe because it's a table it doesnt work. I want to click on "SNOW Microsoft 2019-03-26.csv" text that is unique in the table. My code is:

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//table[@id='grdReports']/div[3]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[3]").click()

Error: can't find the xpath

HTML looks like:

I would just use

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//td[contains(text(),'SNOW Microsoft 2019-03-26')]").click()

Element with grdReports id is a div, not table:

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@id='grdReports']/div[3]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[3]").click()

Also you can try shorter xpath:

//*[@id='grdReports']//tr[@role='row']/td[3]

Css selector:

#grdReports tr[role=row] > td:nth-child(3)

Try the following xpath:

//table[@role='grid']//tbody/tr/td[text()='SNOW Microsoft 2019-03-26.csv']

Note: i am not sure if there is two spaces between Microsoft and 2019
