Hi,

According to your description, my understanding is that you need to close the file with the order in which the files are opened, am I right? If yes, this issue may be caused by the Excel files opened with the same instance. I recommend we try to follow this blog to open the workbooks by running separate instances.

Then, if this issue still exists, please try to following methods:

Methods one:

 

Open Excel-Options-Advanced-In General Options-Check Ignore Other Applications that use DDE.

Methods Two:

 Update Registry.Run regedit.  Press Start-Run, Type Regedit. Update the following registry keys

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Excel.Sheet.8/shell/Open/default:   add [space]"%1"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Excel.Sheet.8/shell/Open/command.  add [space]"%1"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Excel.Sheet.8/shell/Open/command.  Rename KeyName from Command to Command_old

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Excel.Sheet.8/shell/Open/ddeexec.  Rename Keyname ddeexec to ddeexec_old

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Excel.Sheet.12/shell/Open/default.  Add [space]"%1"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Excel.Sheet.12/shell/Open/command. Add  [space]"%1"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Excel.Sheet.12/shell/Open/command.  Rename KeyName from Command to Command_old

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Excel.Sheet.12/shell/Open/ddeexec.  Rename Keyname ddeexec to ddeexec_old

i.e.

32bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\EXCEL.EXE" "%1"

64bit:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\EXCEL.EXE" "%1"

Please note: Backup the registry key before modify.

Next, this issue also may be caused by the third-party add-ins, please try to disable them and test.

Hope it's helpful.
