    1. For native web dropdown controls (even for Scalable Web Testing) the code will be:

     

     

    function test()
    {
      Sys.Browser("chrome").ToUrl("https://material.angular.io/components/select/examples");
      Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("https://material.angular.io/components/select/examples").FindElement("//select[@id=(//label[.='Cars *']/@for)]").ClickItem("Audi");
    }

     

     

    So, maybe the control which you use is not supported one.

    In this case you can request support of this control in the special section for feature Ideas: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Feature-Requests/idb-p/TestXCompleteFeatureRequests

     

    2. 3. 4. Unfortunately, I have no access to your web page, but it seems, yes, it's not simple drop-down. That's how it's possible to deal with controls without special support:

    function Test1()
    {
      let URL = "https://material.angular.io/components/select/overview";
      let whattoclick = "'Pizza'";
        
      Browsers.Item(btChrome).Navigate(URL);
      let browser = Sys.Browser();
      browser.BrowserWindow(0).Maximize();
    
      let page = browser.Page(URL);
      page.FindElement("//select-overview-example/mat-form-field//mat-select//span[contains(@class, 'mat-select-placeholder')]").Click();
      page.FindElement("//span[contains(text(), "+whattoclick+")]").Click();
    }

    lets try to do it like this:

     

    WhatToClick = "'"+excelSheet.Cell("A", 3).Value+"'"

    put single quote before and after the WhatToClick
