i have solved it by myself.

C#

 Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet activeSheet =
(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet)Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveSheet;

if use from combobox then,

C#

Excel.Range rng = activeSheet.UsedRange.Columns["" + comboBox2.SelectedItem + "", System.Type.Missing];
            
rng.Select();

or

C#

Excel.Range rng = activeSheet.UsedRange.Columns["A", System.Type.Missing];
            
rng.Select();

it works fine for me.
