Cannot attach excel file, Please help

Hi, I hope someone can offer some help. I have a data file with three sheets that i need to attach into R. I keep getting the same error message even though i know it is in my directory.

library(readxl)
library("dplyr")
otu_mat<- read_excel("../data/CARBOM_data.xlsx", sheet = "OTU matrix")
Error: '../data/CARBOM_data.xlsx' does not exist in current working directory ('C:/Users/User/Documents').

I keep getting the same error message no matter what i do. Does anyone have any advice?

Regards.

Try writing out the absolute path to the file, something like

c:/Users/User/data/CARBOM_data.xlsx
