Print the full path in a display box and see what path it shows up.
It shows the asterisk also. Clearly there is no such file with the asterisk.
The parameter needs an "existing Excel document" it says.
If you want to open today's file and if you are sure that there is always going to be 1 file having today's date then you can use this approach which makes use of File filter option.
After doing the above,
%Files[0].Fullname% will give the name of the file you need having today's date.
Now you can use it in Launch Excel.
