title: How to query for User Display Name using LisData.svc SharePoint Online
body: <p>As you know when using the listdata.svc people picker fields return the userID, not the display name (createdby, modifiedby). I have been looking for a way to query the userprofile svc but have found nothing helpful.</p>
  
  <p>What i am looking to do, is simply convert this ID to their respected display name. I am new to using this listsvc and this was never and issue using empty data views and XSL. If anyone has an example of grabbing list data, and showing the createdby, modifiedby, or a custom people picker field and showing their name not id that would be very helpful.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance </p>
