Formula to register user name changing a specific field value

Hi,
I'm looking for help with creating a formula field which will display a user name who changed value on the specific date/time type field. I can not use last modified by because record can be edited by many other users. All what I'm trying to acheve is to display user name who changed date/time on my particular field.

Thanks for any ideas.
Lukas

Hi Lukasz,
This can be achieved by using a workflow rule. But, User Name must be text or lookup to User, since we can't assign value to formula fields.

Evaluation Criteria : created and edited
Rule Criteria :  ISCHANGED(particular Date/Time field) 
Field update :
if  User Name is a text field, 
User Name =  LastModifiedBy.FirstName  & ' ' & LastModifiedBy.LastName

If user name is lookup to User, then
User Name = LastModifiedById

Please let me know if it helps.

Thanks,
Nagendra
