Formula:
1. [b]Open the Visual Basic Editor[/bby pressing Alt F11.
2. In the editor, [b]insert a new module[/bby clicking on Insert  Module.
3. In the module, [b]create a new sub[/bby typing "Sub GetUserID()" followed by pressing Enter.
4. Inside the sub, [b]declare a variable[/bto hold the user id by typing "Dim UserID as String" followed by pressing Enter.
5. Use the [b]Environ function[/bto retrieve the username by typing "UserID = Environ("USERNAME")" followed by pressing Enter.
6. You can now use the [b]UserID variable[/bin your macro to check if the user id matches a specific value. For exampleyou can use an If statement like this:

   If 
UserID "SmithJo" Then
       
'Do something
   Else
       '
Do something else
   
End If

7. [b]Save your macro[/b] and close the Visual Basic Editor
Now, when the macro is executed, it will retrieve the user id of the person running the macro and store it in the UserID variable. You can then use this variable to perform actions based on the user id.
