Selenium 1 example : driver.Select "css=#idselect", "label=Valeur 2"
Selenium 2 example : 
driver.findElementByCssSelector("oki").AsSelect.selectByText "Valeur 2"

Refer to the Api documentation for more information.

THank you very much for answering me. 
I didn't understand what "oki" correspond to ?

Another question, if i want to use the first example, and put the content of a 
cell instead of the string "Valeur 2"

Like this : Selenium 1 example : driver.Select "css=#idselect", "label=" 
Workbook1.Sheets("Feuil1").Range("K1").Value 

But it's not working

"oki" is an example of CSS selector which can be obtain with the recorder or by 
inspecting the source with Firebug.
This should work with your case :

 This one will select using the id value :
 Selenium 1 : driver.Select "name=select", "value=" & Workbook1.Sheets("Feuil1").Range("K1").Text
 Selenium 2 : driver.findElementByName("select").AsSelect.selectByValue Workbook1.Sheets("Feuil1").Range("K1").Text

 This one will select using the visible text :
 Selenium 1 : driver.Select "name=select", "label=" & Workbook1.Sheets("Feuil1").Range("K1").Text
 Selenium 2 : driver.findElementByName("select").AsSelect.selectByText Workbook1.Sheets("Feuil1").Range("K1").Text
