What exactly does "in matlab folder" mean?

My best guess is that you placed the file somewhere that is not on your current MATLAB search path. Where is the file?

You can see all the directories that MATLAB will search by typing

>> path

More details at

>> doc path

Please specify the full name of the file - that's the folder followed by the base filename.

yourFolder = 'c:/users/vipul/documents'; % or whatever.
if ~exist(yourFolder , 'dir')
  message = sprintf('Error: folder does not exist:\n%s', yourFolder);
  fprintf('%s\n', message);
  uiwait(warndlg(message));
  return;
end
baseFileName = 'as.xls';
fullFileName = fullfile(yourFolder, baseFileName);
if exist(fullFileName, 'file')
  [numericalCells, textCells, rawCells = xlread(fullFileName);
else
  message = sprintf('Error: Workbook does not exist:\n%s', fullFileName);
  fprintf('%s\n', message);
  uiwait(warndlg(message));
end
