    You need to set the active workbook to the one that you want to close.  Then, in your call to "Close", there is a parameter to indicate whether or not to save changes.  App.Quit is NOT how you want to go because that will Excel, not just the individual workbooks.  The only time you should call app.Quit is at the very end of your execution when you're completely done with Excel.

I would suggest you to Create a workbook instead of using "app.ActiveWorkbook" and then try to save the Workbook & close it.

let excelObject= Sys.OleObject("Excel.Application");
let filepath: C:\\users\\test.xlsx";
excelWorkbookObj = excelObject.Workbooks.Open(filepath);
 excelWorkbookObj.SaveAs(strexcelFileName);
 excelWorkbookObj.Close();
 excelWorkbookObj = null;

    Thank you for reply and suggestion.But the excel has test data which are using for DD Loop and updating the transaction ids  to the same excel.so create work book  is not an option.

    If  the scripts gets error out at the middle, we are stoping the scripts. in that cases, the excel is alreay open and unable to open again.
