When I am Passing this value Real Estate Test from Excel Data source to Rest URL it converts space as below.

    This is expected. Special characters used in a REST URL in SOAtest will be URL encoded.

    %20 is the URL code for space.

    Below is a site that you can see what codes different special characters will be converted to:

    Just to double check though, this isn't causing this test to fail, is it?

    Test is not failed but result validation though scripts failing as its a string comparison.

    Before performing the string comparison you could use a script to URL encode or decode one of the strings.
