How to read a "read from spreadsheet file" not when I run the VI??

Hello again, as you know, when you use "read from spreadsheet file" when you run the VI, if there's nothing at the path port, a window which asks which file do you want to open pop... The fact is: How can that window pop only when I want and not before?? thank you

'Read from Spreadsheet' need a file path to read from. You image shows a blank file name so the 'Read' vi prompts for one.

Click the button attached to the the path control to select the desired file BEFORE running the VI and no prompt will appear when the VI runs.

Yeah, I know it, it is the only way I get the program running well, but I'm planning to convert it after to an executable file, how can I solve this problem before do it?
