`ReadExcel` only works if you give it the full path to a file that exists. I cannot see if you gave it a filename?  
So, if we assume you have given a full path to a file that exists, and you need to find the filename only, you can use [System.IO.Path.GetFileName](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.path.getfilename?view=netframework-4.6.2).

You can call that as an expression in any input field or call it from the `Invoke code` activity.
