How do i has a cell auto populate the last author if a cretin row is edited?
As of now, I am using the following code and it is not working for some reason... I need Volume K to auto-populate with the last author and date and time starting in Row 9. So if I modify anything in row 9 Collum K Row 9 will auto input last author and date and time. continuing, if I modify something in row 10 K10 will auto input last author and date and time...etc
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 1 Then Cells(Target.Row, "B") = LastAuthor()
End Sub
thanks!

Hi Doug,
This code is applied to column B starting from row 2.
If you want to apply it to column K starting from row 9, then replace it with this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Row > 8 Then Cells(Target.Row, "K") = LastAuthor() End Sub

I am not too smart with excel and for some reason still cannot get this to work. I have attached my file maybe you can see what I am doing wrong?
What I am trying to do is anytime someone modifies a cell in a row Cell L for that row auto collects the username and date row was last modified.

I have assumed that you have a function called in the code!
The function is LastAuthor().
I'm not sure that you really have this function or it's just an example!
You may need something different, and I cannot figure it out!
