I have an excel spreadsheet that is a checklist and once items are complete i would like the users to double click the cells and it stamp their initials and the date. I have seen others ask the same thing and they have come up with code to pull the username and date which is working for me but i only want the user initials. I have not been able to find any other code pulling the initials that actually work.
I would also like 2 options 1 with the date and 1 without the date.

Does anyone know how to get the user initials and date stamp on double click? I also have a range of cells i need this to apply to N2:AQ2000
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
This would put the initials followed by the date in any cell double clicked in N2:AQ2000.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strInitials As String

    strInitials = Join(Evaluate("LEFT({""" & Replace(Application.UserName, " ", """,""") & """})"), "")
    
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("N2:AQ2000")) Is Nothing Then
        Cancel = True
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        Target.Value = strInitials & "-" & Date
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If
    
End Sub
