Hello,

Trying to figure out the vba code which can help me to close all opened workbooks except the active one which has macro. Below is my code. But it does not close any workbook.

Please help. Thank you in advance.

Code:
Sub CloseOtherWorkbook()

Dim WB As Workbook

Windows("Master file.xlsm").Activate

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each WB In Application.Workbooks
    If Not (WB Is Application.ActiveWorkbook) Then
        WB.Close
    End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi Andrew,

Thank you so much. It worked. :)

One more thing I wanted to add on this. Currently, it gives prompt message to save or not to save before closing workbooks. I wanted all workbooks to save by itself and then close.

Could you please help.

Code:
Sub CloseOtherWorkbook()
'this is to close all workbooks - let's figure how to do it

Dim WB As Workbook

Windows("Master file.xlsm").Activate

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each WB In Application.Workbooks
    If WB.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
        WB.Close
    End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub


Try:

If WB.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then

Hi There,

I was trying this code as well, however my script does not recognize this line:

WB.Close savechange:=True

I changed it to read: WB.Close savechange:=False, as I do not want it to save.

Anything I am doing wrong?
