IMPORTXML() only works on a part of the xPath
I would like to download parts (i.e. specific rows and columns ... cells) from the Balance Sheet information found here:
https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/AAPL/balance-sheet/annual
Using 'xPath' for Chrome I have:
/html/body/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[3]/div[2]/div/ng-transclude/table/tbody/tr[4]/td[3]
Using 'xPath Helper' for Chrome I have:
/html/body/div[@id='bc-main-content-wrapper']/div[@class='inner-wrap']/div[@class='main-content-wrapper content js-main-content-wrapper ']/div[@class='row']/div[@class='large-12 columns']/div[@class='one-column-block']/div[@class='row']/div[@id='main-content-column']/div[@class='column-inner']/div[@class='bc-financial-report']/div[@class='bc-table-scrollable']/div[@class='bc-table-scrollable-inner']/ng-transclude/table[@class='ng-scope']/tbody/tr[4]/td[3]
but I'm only able return all data from the web page with parts of the paths - i.e.:
=IMPORTXML(A1,"/html/body/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[3]")
and:
=IMPORTXML(A1,"/html/body/div[@id='bc-main-content-wrapper']/div[@class='inner-wrap']/div[@class='main-content-wrapper content js-main-content-wrapper']/div[@class='row']/div[@class='large-12 columns']/div[@class='one-column-block']/div[@class='row']/div[@id='main-content-column']/div[@class='column-inner']/div[@class='bc-financial-report']")
Initially I thought it had something to do with 'ng-transclude'-section ... but as you can see, I don't even reach that part of the path.
I hope that someone can point me in the right direction of getting this problem solved.

Perhaps:
For whole row: =index(importhtml("https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/AAPL/balance-sheet/annual","table"),7,) (example for Inventories).
For whole column: =index(importhtml("https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/AAPL/balance-sheet/annual","table"),,3) (example for 09-2017).
For cell: =index(importhtml("https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/AAPL/balance-sheet/annual","table"),7,3) (example for Inventories for 09-2017).

Thank you pnuts for your very elegant and informative solution! On a side note - I managed to access data via a Google script - the following way (not so pretty - but it works): doc.html.body.div[1].div.div[1].div[1].div.div[1].div.div.div.div[2].getElements()[1].table.tbody.tr[index].td[3].getText().replace("$", "").split(",").join("");
