read two excel from different location using readtable

Hello
I am selecting two Excel files from different locations.
Later I want to read the NEW and OLD excel data using Readtable to tNew and tOld variable respectively.
[file,path] = uigetfile('*.xlsx');
if isequal(file,0)
disp('Select NEW Summary Excel');
else
disp(['User selected ', fullfile(path,file)]);
end
[~,name,raw] = fileparts(file);
excelFile = strcat(file);
excelName = fullfile(path,excelFile);
tNew = readtable(excelFile);
[file1,path1] = uigetfile('*.xlsx');
if isequal(file,0)
disp('Select OLD Summary Excel');
else
disp(['User selected ', fullfile(path1,file1)]);
end
[~,name1,raw1] = fileparts(file1);
excelFile1 = strcat(file1);
excelName1 = fullfile(path1,excelFile1);
tOld = readtable(excelFile1);
Facing this error:
Error using readtable (line 223)
Unable to open file 'SummaryNew.xlsx' as a workbook. Check that the file exists, read access is available, and the file is
a valid spreadsheet file.
Thank you

What is the purpose of those strcat() calls?
I notice you do not use the output of the fileparts() calls.
Thank you for your response.
I was initially thought to use this
[~,name,raw] = fileparts(file);
excelFile = strcat(name,raw);
But Faced errors.
I am not sure how incorrect it is?
I thought to strcat,as I need to use readtable because,later I am using this table for ismember and writetable.
Thank you

excelName = fullfile(path,excelFile);
You construct the fully qualified file name
tNew = readtable(excelFile);
but you read from the name without the directory.

[new_file, new_path] = uigetfile('*.xlsx', 'Select NEW summary file');
if ~ischar(new_file)
error('Select NEW Summary Excel');
end
[old_file, old_path] = uigetfile('*.xlsx', 'Select OLD summary file');
if ~ischar(old_file)
error('Select OLD Summary Excel');
end
new_excelname = fullfile(new_path, new_file);
old_excelname = fullfile(old_path, old_file);
tNew = readtable(new_excelname);
tOld = readtable(old_excelname);
I just did in the same way. :-)
Very thankful for pointing towards Unusable strcat() fileparts() .
Thank you so much for your time and responce @Walter Roberson.
