Hello,

The following sample code uses tables.docx (file available in the package: examples/files/docxpath folder) to remove the cell that contains "22":

$docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate('tables.docx');

$referenceNode = array(
    'customQuery' => '//w:tr/w:tc[contains(., "22")]',
);
$docx->removeWordContent($referenceNode);

$docx->createDocx('output_table');

If you run this code using the included file, you can check the cell is removed from the DOCX output.

If we replace in this same file "22" with "${sipcol_removal}" and run:

$docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate('tables.docx');

$referenceNode = array(
    'customQuery' => '//w:tr/w:tc[contains(., "${sipcol_removal}")]',
);
$docx->removeWordContent($referenceNode);

$docx->createDocx('output_table');

The cell is removed correctly too. We recommend you check and run these samples using the file included in the package. Also note that XPath is case sensitive by default (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/snippets/case-insensitive-xpath).

For further support, we'd need to check the DOCX file you are using. Please open a support ticket (https://www.phpdocx.com/support) and attach the DOCX document you are using, we'll generate a sample using it.

Regards.
