    Retrieve User ID

    Is there a way to find a user's identity WITHOUT resorting to a macro to retrieve 'application.username'. In other words, can I grab application.username from a cell function alone. I have a lot of spreadsheets used by a lot of people at my company, and I want to tag their printouts with their names, but I'd rather not hit them with the macro authorization popup, if I don't otherwise need VBA for the spreadsheet to work.

    I don't think so, but you could create a function in an addin that could be installed on each computer
    Hope that helps.

    Define UserName refers to: =GET.WORKSPACE(26)

    Then in a cell, =UserName

    You will still get an Excel 4 macro warning.
