View PC Specs using Excel without VBA

Question

Is there an equivalent function/command displaying PC Specs without using any VBA macro?

Answer 1

Of limited usefulness is the INFO worksheet function.

From Excel 2010 Help, here's my edited version:

INFO(type_text)

Argument type_text is text that specifies what type of information you want returned.

"directory" Path of the current directory or folder. 

"numfile" Number of active worksheets in the open workbooks. 

"origin" Returns the absolute cell reference of the top and leftmost cell visible in the window, ...

"osversion" Current operating system version, as text. 

"recalc" Current recalculation mode; returns "Automatic" or "Manual". 

"release" Version of Microsoft Excel, as text. 

"system" Name of the operating environment: Macintosh = "mac", Windows = "pcdos" 

For example, on my Windows 7 Pro system, =INFO("osversion") returns 

Windows (64-bit) NT 6.01

Answer 2

yes, but I want to capture those info to a cell without using VBA.

Answer 3

a RAM, PROCESSOR or USER maybe.

it's like when I put this formula it will show those kind of information without using VBA of course.

Answer 4

Answer 5

What PC Specs are you wanting to display?

I think generally the answer is going to be no, but depending on what information you need, the answer may be yes for some specs that are specific to the workbook/worksheet.
