To get the user's logon name, use a VBA function like

Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias
"GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long


Function GetLogonName() As String
Dim N As Long: N = 255
Dim S As String
S = String(N, " ")
GetUserName S, N
GetLogonName = Left(S, N - 1)
End Function

You can then call this from a cell with =GetLogonName()
