    Thanks rraghvani and Marsha_R for your suggestions, i was able to get the required log message with customized message + table value via the below post 

    https://community.smartbear.com/discussions/testcomplete-questions/log-message-and-code-expressions/165026/replies/165030

    The code expression i used was 

    "Testing  " + aqConvert.VarToStr(KeywordTests.TestNameVariables.VariableName.Value["Column name of the csv file"])

If your variable is of type Table, then you need to call the correct method to return the data, i.e. Item(),

    hi rraghvani, can you please share more details on what the attribute 1,2 refers to in Item(1,2). Have you tried concatenating a customized message with this table value using "+". Please share the screenshot of the code expression similar to what i have shared.

      It's row and column as described in the documentation.

      The error message that you are receiving is most likely relating to incorrect syntax being used when referring to the object.

      I don't use keyword testing, I just provided you with a quick example which you should then be able to follow. I suggest you try something simple without concatenating the strings and values.

        I always do something similar to what rraghvani suggests. First start your message with just the reference to the data you want. Once you get the correct data in the message, then adding strings around it is easy. Try it and show us your results if you are still having trouble.
