Having looked at both your document and the workbook, it's not apparent any dropdown values are being filled - what you seem to want is a dropdown display name selected. Furthermore, it's not apparent why, if all you want is a set of fields in the document to be populated from an Excel workbook, you wouldn't do the lot via a mailmerge.

Thanks for the reply Paul

Is there any options to select from the drop-down based on the workbook values...

For ex., in excel "Difficulty Level" is "Esy", in the word to be filled from the drop-down to "1-Easy" etc...

Please advise.

Unless you're proposing to allow someone to change the selection after it's been populated from Excel, there is no reason to use a dropdown.

Yes you're correct...

Someone needs to be changed are updated drop-down list against the excel sheet after populated in the word file maybe after sometime.

That's why asking as drop-down list...

Try:
Code:
Sub GetExcelData()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Note: A VBA Reference to the Excel Object Model is required, via Tools|References
Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application, xlWkBk As Excel.Workbook, xlWkSht As Excel.Worksheet
Dim StrWkBkNm As String, i As Long, j As Long, r As Long
StrWkBkNm = ThisDocument.Path & "\Data to fill.xlsx"
If Dir(StrWkBkNm) = "" Then
  MsgBox "Cannot find the designated workbook: " & StrWkBkNm, vbExclamation
  Exit Sub
End If
With xlApp
  .Visible = False
  .DisplayAlerts = False
  Set xlWkBk = .Workbooks.Open(FileName:=StrWkBkNm, ReadOnly:=True, AddToMRU:=False)
End With
Set xlWkSht = xlWkBk.Worksheets("Sheet1")
With ActiveDocument
  For i = 1 To .Tables.Count
    r = i + 1
    With .Tables(i)
      .Cell(2, 2).Range.Text = "PV: " & xlWkSht.Range("B" & r).Value
      With .Cell(3, 2).Range
        .ContentControls(1).Checked = (xlWkSht.Range("F" & r).Value = "Y")
        .ContentControls(2).Checked = (xlWkSht.Range("F" & r).Value = "Y")
        .ContentControls(3).Checked = (xlWkSht.Range("G" & r).Value = "Y")
      End With
      With .Cell(3, 1).Range
        With .ContentControls(1)
          .Type = wdContentControlText
          .Range.Text = xlWkSht.Range("A" & r).Value
          .Type = wdContentControlDropdownList
        End With
        With .ContentControls(2)
          .Type = wdContentControlText
          .Range.Text = xlWkSht.Range("D" & r).Value
          .Type = wdContentControlDropdownList
        End With
        With .ContentControls(3)
          .Type = wdContentControlText
          .Range.Text = xlWkSht.Range("C" & r).Value
          .Type = wdContentControlDropdownList
        End With
      End With
    End With
  Next
End With
xlWkBk.Close False
xlApp.Quit
Set xlWkSht = Nothing: Set xlWkBk = Nothing: Set xlApp = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Note: You would get more meaningful content in the dropdowns if your Excel data actually matched the dropdown choices...

Try logging off, then back on again - and don't open the workbook before running the macro.

Hi Paul

Still having the issue when i try to run the macro. I am just open the empty macro enabled workbook and paste the code and run it. Both workbook and doc file placed in the same path.

Is this right way?

If not, can you please tell me the way to run?

The macro is a Word macro, not an Excel macro. You add it to the document, not to the workbook...
