    Use Extract data from web page to capture the items in the drop down on the web form. Extract them into a list and use that for matching. Then use the index of the item that you've matched when clicking on the element. 

     

    If it is a <select> element, you don't necessarily need to use this approach, however - you could use Set drop-down list value in web page to simply set the value based on a variable value from Excel.
