Using Node.js (Playwright) how to utilize columnHeader; rowHeader instead of nth-child

Trying to use playwright to automate testing Power BI reports like the user would click. I am trying to "get" a value from a visual. I have it working using the nth-child(#) or nth-of-type(#). 

 

Example.

These work to click or "get" the value:

awaitpage.click('.bodyCells > :nth-child(1) > :nth-child(1) > :nth-child(4) > div:nth-of-type(1)'); 

 

consttest4 = awaitpage.textContent('.bodyCells > :nth-child(1) > :nth-child(1) > :nth-child(4) > div:nth-of-type(1)'); 

console.log(test4); 

 

consttest5 = awaitpage.textContent('.bodyCells > :nth-child(1) > :nth-child(1) > :nth-child(4) > :nth-child(1)'); 

console.log(test5);

 

constelementByClass = awaitpage.$('.bodyCells > :nth-child(1) > :nth-child(1) > :nth-child(4) > div:nth-of-type(1)') 

constinnerText = awaitelementByClass.innerText() 

console.log(innerText) 

 

Is there a way to not use the "nth-child" and actually reference the "div title=rowHeader name" and the "div title = columnHeader name" to "get" the value in that cell of this visual. example below get 258,886.064
