How to click on the element using the innerText text of a class in Selenium vba

Question

I am willing to get the innerText and click on it. The text is Customer Service Inquiry.

I have tried:

.FindElementsByXPath("//*[text()[contains(.listItem, 'Customer Service Inquiry')]]").Click

This does not work as it gives error that it is not a valid xpath expression

Further, this works but I am wanting to click by what the inner text says.

.FindElementByXPath("//*[@id='listFav_ALLOUTSECURITY0000000000000000008276_APP_P4210_W4210E_PSG0021_20']").click

The html

<div id="listContentHolder"> == $0 > <div class="carolist" id="listOCL" slot="0" style="height: 57px; top: @px;">.</div> > <div class="carolist" id="listRecipts" slot="1" style="height: 57px; top: 57px;">.</div> <div class="caroList" id="listFav" slot="2" style="height: 153px; top: 114px;"> > <div class="listHeader expanded" id="listFavHeader" oncontextmenu="javascript:CARO.updateDropdownMenuView(this,event);jdebebGUIdoToggleSubMenu(this,'caroTabContextMenu', event, true)

To click on the element with text as Customer Service Inquiry you can use either of the following locator strategies:

Using FindElementByXPath and only the innerText:

.FindElementByXPath("//td[text()='Customer Service Inquiry']").click

Using FindElementByXPath along with the class and the innerText:

.FindElementByXPath("//td[@class='listText' and text()='Customer Service Inquiry']").click
