You need to cast it to a string  not an array of string  since it s a single value   var cellValue    string  excelWorksheet Cells 10  2  as Excel Range  Value

It is better to use  Value2   instead of  Value    This is faster and gives the exact value in the cell  For certain type of data  truncation can be observed when  Value   is used
