Yes, this is possible.
Use osuser() to get the userID
You will find many posts telling you how to write to an Excel file.

Button to record user Usage
A problem that you may encounter is that users will have to accept System Level macros when they open the application.
There are some posts that describe how to force this through registry entries.
If you can be sure that users have accepted system level macros, you don't need to use a button or hide any sheets.
You can set a macro to run when the document is opened.

Hey Mwoolf
I have never successfully used macros in QV , today this will change !!
I have seen that message and to be fair to our users they tend to always check for allowance,
its easy enough for me to communicate with them to allow them anyway !!Do you have any sample of a QV macro that runs on open , or any macro that I can look at ?

Button to record user Usage
Hi there,
The Excel file is saved onto the server and it works fine for the 2 developers its only the viewers that are having this issue -- in saying that Excel is not installed on the server, nor will it be !! Does this mean this is a non runner now ?
When I Ctl + Shift+M I see that the Macro level seems to be fine !!!
How do they set System Level Access ?
As always any suggestions greatly appreciated !
Thanks

Excel doesn't need to be installed on the server.
Have the end user do Shift+Ctrl+M to check the macro access level.

Hi Mwoolf
for the viewers it is set to "Limit Module....." but even if they click onto "Give System ....." it does not run, presumably they need to change to that and save it and then everytime they open thereafter it would work !!
But I dont know how to allow the viewer to Save this change ,
Do you ?-

Registry entry should be saved when user selects. Are these users administrators of thier computers?
If not, you may need to set the appropriate registry key for them.

The administrator will log into the PC and run the following vbscript. Copy the script and paste into a text editor. Then save with any name and a .vbs extension.

I posted a reply regarding how an admin would change the registry settings and got a message saying that my post had to be approved by a moderator.
We'll see if it shows up later today.

I'm trying again.
The admin will log into the PC and run this vbscript.
Copy the script and paste into a text editor.
Change cSERVER_NAME to your server name.
Save with any name and a .vbs extension.

Re: Button to record user Usage
You might find the Audit logs of interest for this requirement which reside at ...
C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\Qvs on the server, but you will need to switch on client activity logging in QEMC.
