Hi @ting801215

Use ““close application activity”” and Indicate the excel you want to close.it will close only the excel you want to close.

Sir thanks for your fast response ,but unfortunately,it’s still doesn’t work,when I open two excel file ,and run the “close application” activity after indicated one ,but both of them were closed.

Please try this steps ,

1. Drag excel application scope (give the file path of the excel you want to close) and in property output create a variable of WorkbookApplication type.
2. Drag close workbook activity inside the excel application scope and give the variable we created in the excel application scope.

Please try running this without creating a variable and tell if it closing the workbook…

Just put close workbook inside Excel application scope and run

I have tested the workflow and and its closing only the workbook we needed to close,

It you cant find the input for close workbook activty then you dont have to create a variable and assign it.
