Write a function with input .xls file to read'

Hi, I'm writing a function (not a '.m' script) that allows me to make a series of econometric tests on a pair of stocks. My input should be the name of the excel file to read. More specifically, my idea is: Function Econometric= Analysis(Stock). The following first line of the code that I wrote was Stock=xlsread('nameofstock.xls',1,'B2:B263'). Unfortunately it doesn't work. I know all other following lines are ok but without first line...everything is useless. Can you help me? Thanks

The xlsread function is going to assume that ‘nameofstock.xls’ in this line is the file name you want to read, because of the single quotes:
Stock=xlsread('nameofstock.xls',1,'B2:B263');
If ‘nameofstock.xls’ is already a string, you don’t need the quotes.

EDIT — ‘Yes I tried this but it shows this error: "Undefined function 'analysis' for input arguments of type 'char'.’
You named your function ‘Analysis’ but called it as ‘analysis’. MATLAB is case-sensitive, so ‘Analysis’ is not the same as ‘analysis’.
Call it as:
Econometric= Analysis(Stock);
and you will not get that error.
