Function with xlsread including the excel file name as input variable

Hi,
I have the following problem: I have multiple excel files named after countries, e.g. US,UK,FRA,JPN,... .
Now I want to write a function, which takes the name of the excel file as input string, e.g. 'JPN' and then loads the corresponding excel file e.g. data = xlsread('JPN',sheet1).
I tried using eval, but could'nt get it to work.
Best and thanks in advance, Chris
