I have a workbook that is created every month and the name changes month to month. I have a macro stored in the workbook that creates new tabs and saves them. I can save and close these workbooks relatively easily. I want to be able to close the main workbook, but the name will change so I cannot close using the workbooks("workbookname").close function. Is there a way to add a wildcard to the name to allow me to close when the processing is done? Is there an option to save and close?

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Where is the code that you want to close the workbook from located?

If it's in the workbook itself you can use ThisWorkbook.Close to close it.
