How to show current user name in a cell?

Question

In most of the online resource I can find usually show me how to retrieve this information in VBA. Is there any direct way to get this information in a cell?

For example

Answer 1

if you don't want to create a UDF in VBA or you can't, this could be an alternative.

=Cell("Filename",A1) this will give you the full file name, and from this you could get the user name with something like this:

=Mid(A1,Find("\",A1,4)+1;Find("\";A1;Find("\";A1;4))-2)

This Formula runs only from a workbook saved earlier.

You must start from 4th position because of the first slash from the drive.
