Concatenate Import Expression in SQL

Question

I have the following query:

    select @Box=Box,@Code=Code,@Validity=Validity,@Type=[Type]
    FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
   'Excel 12.0;Database=C:\Barcodes.xlsx;HDR=YES',
   'SELECT Box,Code,Validity,[Type ] FROM [sheet1$]')
    where Code <> ''

I am trying to Concatenate : 'C:\\Barcodes.xlsx' , i want to put a value "@Path" to be given by the use dynamically , i tried so far '+' '%' and nothing worked , what should i do in this case?

Not sure what you mean but at a guess?

select 
    @Box=Box,@Code=Code,@Validity=Validity,@Type=[Type]
FROM 
  OPENROWSET(
   'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
   'Excel 12.0;Database=' + @path + ';HDR=YES',
   'SELECT Box,Code,Validity,[Type ] FROM [sheet1$]')
where 
  Code <> ''
