saving an excel document

when I save an excel document or file the box that opens only allows me to save it to documents, desktop, etc. But it does not let me change the setting to the folder the excel doc is saved in such as taxes, business expenses, etc.

How do change the default setting from document or desktop to the exact folder the excel doc came from?

I assume you're talking about Save As, not Save (since Save doesn't open
a dialog). IIRC, XL sets the Save As folder from the first file opened
in a session with File/Open.

However, if you've accessed the folder before, you should be able to
access it via the Save As Dialog's Folder dropdown/Recent Places
category.

You can set a different default folder to save in with
Preference/General/Default File Location input box
