Write Cell Runtime error

Dear pros,
oddly this error just appeared at write cell, was able to run in the morning.
Intention is to open an excel, with a for each row loop, update value, save the excel file as excel A (i use copy file). Then continue the loop to repeat above to save B etc. etc.
however, after running 1 round, this error appears. Do you know why? T_T
i’m using classic excel as i find difficulties to use the new excel scope.

Is there a main sheet?

And is the file being used already?

Can you check in task manager and kill any. Running excel

And I hope the sheet is not locked

Cheers

Thank you for your response! It is like that:

Excel Original
Loop
Save and copy file
Back to loop.

so technically the excel file is not close yet. (before bug appears, it took less than 1 min to run for all.)

i tried another way which is:
Loop
Excel Original
Save and copy file

It works however, the re-opening of excels is taking much longer time. (i.e 5mins in total)

@winnie_toh

Can you tell what you are trying to do…so that we can give you a best way for it if possible

Cheers

Dear Anil_G,

What i need is as follows:

  • Read a list i.e. Category A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H…
  • Open 1 main excel (special template that contain smartview linkings) to update the category, refresh the data in that excel, then save it accordingly to a new excel File_A.
  • Loop and do the same for the rest.
  • Finally, there will be File_A.xlsx, File_B.xlsx… etc.

Thank you!!!
