In most of the online resource I can find usually show me how to retrieve this information in VBA. Is there any direct way to get this information in a cell?

For example as simple as =ENVIRON('User') (which did not work)

Without VBA macro, you can use this tips to get the username from the path :

=MID(INFO("DIRECTORY"),10,LEN(INFO("DIRECTORY"))-LEN(MID(INFO("DIRECTORY"),FIND("\",INFO("DIRECTORY"),10),1000))-LEN("C:\Users\"))
user_28947630

This displays the name of the current user:

Function Username() As String
    Username = Application.Username
End Function

The property Application.Username holds the name entered with the installation of MS Office.

Enter this formula in a cell:

=Username()
user_45437550
