You need to change your current working directory:

cd(“…/mydir/someotherdir/”)

You can read more about it in:

> [@How to change working directory in julia with atom](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-change-working-directory-in-julia-with-atom/7588):
>
> The command to change working directory is cd(dir::AbstractString=homedir()). Can anyone give an example as how to use it?

then you can run you file using ExcelReaders package.

I hope it helps.
