Hi,
After some words of wisdom as can't see why this isn't working. I have a very simple SharePoint list with two columns "Employee" and "Days". The "Employee" column is a People column and the "Days" column is a number.

What I am trying to do is grab the display name from the People coloum and create a new column within the collection with this data.

However when I look at the collection it hasn't created the columns and looks like this

I am not sure what's going wrong here, any ideas gratefully received.
Thanks
Rob
