Hi,

Although this recent blog post was about users initials it contains many
ways of getting users name.

You want Excel username or login username?

There is a difference.

Function User()
Application.Volatile
User = Application.UserName 'name in ToolsOptionsGeneral
End Function

Function login()
Application.Volatile
login = Environ("Username")
End Function

Place this code in Thisworkbook module.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
With ThisWorkbook
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
.Range("A1").Value = "Last Saved By " _
& Environ("UserName") & " " & Now
End With
.Save
End With
End Sub

Or if you want a permanent record in a list use the following instead.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim lastrow As Range
With ThisWorkbook
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set lastrow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp) _
.Offset(1, 0)
lastrow.Value = "Last Saved By " _
& Environ("UserName") & " " & Now
End With
.Save
End With
End Sub
