Hello,

Looks like ${excelvalue} is a unicode string and not a list.
could you show us the portion of code where it gets initialized?

Hi thnq for quick reply!!! .....

Again i have met with same issue!!!

 i have given ${excelvalue} as,

*** Variable ***

${excelvalue}=    Create List

[Laurent Bristiel]

You can not call keywords in the variable section.
You just can set a value to a variable
If you want to assign the returned value of a keyword to a variable, you have to do it within a test case.
So you have 2 ways to solve your issue

1) with variable section
*** Variable ***
@{excelvalue}

*** test cases ***

:FOR    ${indexdata}    IN RANGE    1    10
    \    ${VALEXCEL}=    GetCellData New        ${sheet.name}    2    ${indexdata}    #@{sheet.clmn.number}[${

indexdata}]   
    \    ${val}=    Convert To List    ${VALEXCEL}               
    \    Append To List    ${excelvalue}    ${val}

2) without variable section
*** test cases ***

${excelvalue}=    Create List

:FOR    ${indexdata}    IN RANGE    1    10
    \    ${VALEXCEL}=    GetCellData New        ${sheet.name}    2    ${indexdata}    #@{sheet.clmn.number}[${

indexdata}]   
    \    ${val}=    Convert To List    ${VALEXCEL}               
    \    Append To List    ${excelvalue}    ${val}

HTH,
Laurent

Hi... sry!! kk i have changed ..... in **keyword** i have given  as follows

*** keyword ***

@{excelvalue}= Create list

:FOR    ${indexdata}    IN RANGE    1    10
    \    ${VALEXCEL}=    GetCellData New        ${sheet.name}    2    ${indexdata}    #@{sheet.clmn.number}[${

indexdata}]    
    \    ${val}=    Convert To List    ${VALEXCEL}                

    \    Append To List    ${excelvalue}    ${val}

${x}= Count Values In List  @{excelvalue}

its returning 0 ...... pls do help me out!

[Laurent Bristiel]

This is no more a Robot Framework issue.
If you get 0 item in your list, maybe the GetCellData keyword does not return anything from your sheet.
Add more logging to locate the issue.
