Hello,

I have a log that gets updated by various people throughout the day.

Is there a way that as soon as the user fills in a cell, say B11, that it stamps B12 automatically with the logged on computer user?

Cheers if anyone can help, if its possible!

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.

Perhaps a macro that pulls the username to a hidden cell? then a circular formula so that B12 refers to that cell when B11 is not blank?

If thats the case, I just need VB on pulling a Username to a cell?!

Just thinking out loud, someone please help!

Kindest Regards,

Is it a particluar row or column you'd need to update?

Right click on the sheet tab, choose 'view code' from the menu and paste this code in.

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address = "$B$11" Then
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        Range("B12").Value = Application.UserName
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If
End Sub
If you need something more general, post back with the parameters.

This will log in column C when an entry is made in column B. Right click the sheet tab, select View Code and paste in

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 2 Then
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Target.Offset(, 1).Value = Environ("username")
    Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
