Hi most learned people.
I have a formula in a worksheet that references the user and the computer name (in bold below)

='C:\Users\andym\Documents\ExcaliburDataConfig\ConfigPLANITData\[DrawingData.xlsx]Page 1'!B1

This formula needs to run on a variety of computers, whose user name and computer name is unknown to me.
is there some method to
A) determine user and computer name
B) replace the existing formula with the new references.

I could really use some help on this, pretty please?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Maybe something like
Code:
Sub chk()
Range("A1") = Environ("userprofile")
End Sub
You can then concatenate that with the rest of the file path/name
