Hello,
I have a formula which will find a text string in column A and return the line on which it first appears in column B.
=IFERROR(MATCH("*apple*",FILTERXML("<K><M>"&SUBSTITUTE(a1,CHAR(10),"</M><M>")&"</M></K>","//M"),0),"")

Is there a way to modify the formula to find the last appearance of apple in column A and return the line in column B, so that instead of a 2 in column B it would be a 4?

Thank you in advance

AB
pear
apple
orange
apple
grapes
2
 
How about
Excel Formula:
=XMATCH("apple",TEXTSPLIT(A1,CHAR(10)),,-1)
