Close Multiple Files at Once...

This tool makes it easy to close several open files (workbooks) at once, without having to close them one by one.

It's useful when:

You have many files open and want to close most of them quickly

You want complete control over which files to close or keep open, with the option to review and save changes before closing

Features:

View a list of all open files (with optional full path shown)

By default, all files except the active workbook are pre-selected

Select or unselect the files you want to close

Choose to show a warning when closing unsaved files. You can then:
      ·  Save the file before closing
      ·  Close without saving changes
      ·  Cancel closing that file

Tip:
This tool helps clean up your workspace quickly, while keeping important or unsaved work open.
