    <p>I am trying to create an XPath expression for use in MS InfoPath in order to retrieve the value of the last sibling in a node. (Hopefully I am phrasing this question correctly as I've barely ever used XPath).</p> <p>I need to identify the most recent instance of the "NamesEval" node inside the "RepeaterGroup" node. Hypothetically I will be looking to see if "Steve" is attending the latest event; I will check for this using a <code>contains(LatestEvent, "Steve")</code> XPath expression. How do I get "LatestEvent" to load in only the most recent "NamesEval" value?</p> <pre><code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;?mso-infoPathSolution solutionVersion="1.0.0.2" productVersion="14.0.0" PIVersion="1.0.0.0" href="file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\Chris\Local%20Settings\Application%20Data\Microsoft\InfoPath\Designer3\db543e141b8f4832\manifest.xsf" ?&gt;&lt;?mso-application progid="InfoPath.Document" versionProgid="InfoPath.Document.3"?&gt;&lt;my:myFields xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2012-09-07T14:19:10" xmlns:xd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003" xml:lang="en-us"&gt; &lt;my:InitialSection&gt; &lt;my:InitialField&gt;1&lt;/my:InitialField&gt; &lt;my:InitialDate&gt;2012-09-14&lt;/my:InitialDate&gt; &lt;/my:InitialSection&gt; &lt;my:RepeaterSection&gt; &lt;my:RepeaterGroup&gt; &lt;my:RepeaterField&gt;2&lt;/my:RepeaterField&gt; &lt;my:RepeaterDate&gt;2012-09-15&lt;/my:RepeaterDate&gt; &lt;my:NamesGroup&gt; &lt;my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:Name&gt;Steve&lt;/my:Name&gt; &lt;/my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:Name&gt;Ashley&lt;/my:Name&gt; &lt;/my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:Name&gt;Josh&lt;/my:Name&gt; &lt;/my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;/my:NamesGroup&gt; &lt;my:NamesEval&gt;Steve;Ashley;Josh;&lt;/my:NamesEval&gt; &lt;/my:RepeaterGroup&gt; &lt;my:RepeaterGroup&gt; &lt;my:RepeaterField&gt;3&lt;/my:RepeaterField&gt; &lt;my:RepeaterDate&gt;2012-09-16&lt;/my:RepeaterDate&gt; &lt;my:NamesGroup&gt; &lt;my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:Name&gt;Amanda&lt;/my:Name&gt; &lt;/my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:Name&gt;Greg&lt;/my:Name&gt; &lt;/my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;my:Name&gt;Steve&lt;/my:Name&gt; &lt;/my:NamesRepeater&gt; &lt;/my:NamesGroup&gt; &lt;my:NamesEval&gt;Amanda;Greg;Steve;&lt;/my:NamesEval&gt; &lt;/my:RepeaterGroup&gt; &lt;/my:RepeaterSection&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p><strong>EDIT &amp; ANSWER</strong></p> <p>Choroba answered the question below - here is the solution: <code>//my:RepeaterGroup[0=count(following-sibling::my:RepeaterGroup)]//my:NamesEval</code></p>

    1. COBTW, a more idiomatic version of your solution is `//my:RepeaterGroup[not(following-sibling::my:RepeaterGroup)]//my:NamesEval`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
