Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Here is a simple example to show how you can do that. This is set to work if there are exactly two workbooks open, it will update the one that the macro that is running is NOT found in.
Code:
Sub Test()

    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim srcWB As Workbook
    Dim dstWB As Workbook
    Dim wbCount As Long
    
'   Capture current workbook (with macros)
    Set srcWB = ActiveWorkbook
    
'   Loop through all other workbooks
    For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
'       Count open workbooks (excluding Personal workbook)
        MsgBox wb.Name
        If wb.Name <> "PERSONAL.XLSB" Then
            wbCount = wbCount + 1
            If wb.Name <> srcWB.Name Then
                Set dstWB = wb
            End If
        End If
    Next wb
    
'   Check to make sure only two workbooks open
    If wbCount <> 2 Then
        MsgBox "You do not have exactly two workbooks open"
    Else
'       Update cell A1 in first sheet of other workbook
        dstWB.Activate
        Sheets(1).Range("A1") = "This is a Test"
    End If
    
End Sub
