Created By field shows display name.

Question

Hi,
I have a SharePoint list and the created By Field exports as Display name when I export to excel. I would like to auto -populate a field in the SharePoint list that will auto populate the Field with display name of the field when an item is created.
How can I make this possible?
Thanks,
techie

hi
you need to use JavaScript code for the same.
<script src="/my/Style%20Library/jquery-1.11.2.js"></script><script language="javascript" src="/my/Style%20Library/jquery.SPServices-0.6.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script language="javascript"
type="text/javascript"> </script> ​​​​ 
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var userName= $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser();
$(".sp-peoplepicker-initialHelpText.ms-helperText").text("");
$(".sp-peoplepicker-topLevel").val(userName);
 $(".sp-peoplepicker-topLevel").text(userName);
</script>
