Access cell by corresponding column text in HTML table

I am trying to get cell text by corresponding cell. 

Column 1     Column 2
Deadline     02 Jul 2020

So by finding "Deadline" I need to get the date.

Here is HTML:

enter image description here

I am trying to use:

var MDeadline = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//tr[./th[text()='Deadline']]/../td[1]"));

without success. What would be the right XPath?

Deadline:

Full XPath:

/html/body/section/div/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/div/div[2]/div/div/table/tbody/tr[7]/th

XPath:

//*[@id="advsearchformdiv"]/tbody/tr[7]/th

Date:

Full XPath:

/html/body/section/div/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/div/div[2]/div/div/table/tbody/tr[7]/td

XPath:

//*[@id="advsearchformdiv"]/tbody/tr[7]/td

Sometimes it is tr[6], sometimes tr[7] that's why I need to stick logic to word "Deadline" without using full XPath.

Try below xpath options

Here since you are referring row you just need to select td tag under that row.

var MDeadline = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//tr[./th[text()='Deadline']]/td"));

OR select hearder tag and following-sibling::td of that header tag

var MDeadline = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//th[text()='Deadline']/following-sibling::td"));
