Hi,

I am using VBA code to track changes to an excel spreadsheet, currently recording

Cell changed ref
Old Value
New Value
Time of change
Date of Change

I need to add

Who changed it (Windows username).

The code I need to add to is below, would be great if someone could assist with this, thanks in advance.

Code:
Option Explicit

Dim vOldVal 'Must be at top of module
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim bBold As Boolean




If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next




    With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .EnableEvents = False
    End With




    If IsEmpty(vOldVal) Then vOldVal = "Empty Cell"
    bBold = Target.HasFormula
    With Sheet2
        '.Unprotect Password:="Secret"
        If .Range("A1") = vbNullString Then
            .Range("A1:E1") = Array("CELL CHANGED", _
                    "OLD VALUE", _
            "NEW VALUE", "TIME OF CHANGE", "DATE OF Change ")
        End If




        With .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2, 1)
        .Value = Target.Address
        .Offset(0, 1) = vOldVal
            With .Offset(0, 2)
              If bBold = True Then
            .ClearComments
            .AddComment.Text Text:= _
                "OzGrid.com:" & Chr(10) & "" & _
                            Chr(10) & _
                "Bold values are the results of formulas "
              End If
            .Value = Target
            .Font.Bold = bBold
            End With




        .Offset(0, 3) = Time
        .Offset(0, 4) = Date
        End With
        .Cells.Columns.AutoFit
        '.Protect Password:="Secret"
    End With
    vOldVal = vbNullString




    With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    .EnableEvents = True
    End With




On Error GoTo 0
End Sub




Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
 vOldVal = Target
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
You can make these two changes...
Code:
     .Offset(0, 3) = Time
     .Offset(0, 4) = Date
     [B].Offset(0, 5) = Application.UserName[/B]

and for the headings...
Code:
If .Range("A1") = vbNullString Then
[B]    .Range("A1:E1") = Array("CELL CHANGED",  "OLD VALUE",  _
            "NEW VALUE", "TIME OF CHANGE", "DATE OF Change ",  _
            "USERNAME")[/B]
End If
