This func will do just what you need:

Func _CloseExcel()
    Local $oExcel = ObjGet("", "Excel.Application")
    If IsObj($oExcel) Then
        ConsoleWrite("EXCEL: " & ObjName($oExcel) & @lf)
        For $wbk In $oExcel.Workbooks
            ConsoleWrite("Closing workbook: " & $wbk.Name & @lf)
            $wbk.Close(True)
        Next
        $oExcel.Quit()
    EndIf
EndFunc

You don't need to check if a workbook is new (FullName property is anyway the wrong place to look - it is always set) or to call Save(), $wbk.Close(True) will save automatically or ask user for path where appropriate. But you always should check IsObj($var) before calling any methods on it.
