I have a macro to close all files containing "Sales Incentives" in the name of the workbook eg BR1 Sales Incentives (Pin).xlsm, Southern Sales incentives(Pin).xlsm etc except for the active workbook

However, these files are being closed

Code:
 Sub Close_Incentive_Workbooks()
 
    Dim wb As Workbook
    For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
        If wb.Name Like "*Sales Incentives.xlsm*" Then
           If Not (wb Is ActiveWorkbook) Then wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
        
                   End If
    Next wb
    
End Sub


It would be appreciated if someone could kindly amend my code
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Maybe something like this (not tested)

VBA Code:
Sub Close_Incentive_Workbooks()
    
    Dim wb As Workbook
    For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
        If wb.Name Like "*Sales Incentives.xlsm*" Then
            If wb.Name <> ActiveWorkbook.Name Then
                wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
            End If
        End If
    Next wb
    
End Sub
