How to kill EXCEL application sub-processes via specific name?

Help

Hi,

This is urgent. I need your assistance in figuring out, how do I kill Excel sub-processes by their specific name? E.g. Microsoft Excel - {title} I am referring to the specific name of each Excel process running, not just the Excel process itself. Thank you.

Regards,
Eric

Hi aksh1yadav,

The process kills all Excel application instead of the process name I have chosen to kill even though I specified the Excel file name that I want to kill the process.

Hi aksh1yadav,

I am using the same workflow you have sent to do some testing. For example, I have 2 Excel application files opened, one of it would be saved as test1 and the other saved as book1. It will kill both of these applications instead even after I specify that I would like to kill only the test1 Excel application.

I am using the latest version of Microsoft Excel (Office 365).
