    I googled and come with some sort of idea,

     

    I hope you are doing ADODB to get data, you can try the following.

Very many thanks for taking the time and solving this problem.

I did not fully understand your description however my connection string

sconnect = "Provider=MSDASQL.1;DSN=Excel Files;DBQ=" & SpreadSheetName & ";HDR=Yes';"

read chinese characters as ????, whereas your connection string:

sconnect = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source='" & SpreadSheetName & "';" & "Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;"";"
 read them as 北京, 中国 (even in the VBA code)
Thats a great result, thanks again.

      Ho it was simple solution i when fectching the data i converted it to VarToString

      but when i removed it is working

       

      var Temp=VarToString(excelMainSheet_TestCase.Cells.Item(i,9));
      Log.Message(Temp)

       

      Working fine

      var Temp=(excelMainSheet_TestCase.Cells.Item(i,9));
      Log.Message(Temp)
