Here's the view definition I used to create my RefreshInfo table:
USE <database>
GO
IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.vwRefreshInfo', 'V') IS NOT NULL
DROP VIEW dbo.vwRefreshInfo;
GO
-- Used to display refresh info in workbook
CREATE VIEW dbo.vwRefreshInfo AS
SELECT
CASE WHEN ( SELECT TOP 1 firstName + ' ' + lastName FROM <user table> WHERE userID = RIGHT(CURRENT_USER, LEN(CURRENT_USER) - CHARINDEX('\',CURRENT_USER) ) ) IS NOT NULL THEN
( SELECT TOP 1 firstName + ' ' + lastName FROM <user table> WHERE userID = RIGHT(CURRENT_USER, LEN(CURRENT_USER) - CHARINDEX('\',CURRENT_USER) ) )
ELSE CURRENT_USER
END
AS RefreshUser
,GETDATE() AS RefreshTime
,MAX( f.TxDateTime ) AS LastDate
FROM
<fact table> f
The user table did not have the domain prefix <domain>\, so that's what the string operations are dealing with in this definition.
As for how I implemented in Power Pivot, I just created a table that wasn't related to anything else, and it was fed by this view. Then I threw a pivot table on the first sheet of the workbook with these items on the rows.
It should be pretty trivial for you to implement something similar.
