Dear S,
There are two ways to bring Azure AD user data (name, location, title) into Power BI:
1. Through Microsoft Graph API (For More Data)
Register an application in Azure AD and give permissions to read user profile details.
Then pull that into Power BI Power Query from this API:
API link: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$select=displayName,jobTitle,officeLocation
Sign in and load the data into Power BI.
2. Azure AD Connect Use (Easy Way, but Limited Data)
Open Power BI and click on Get Data > Azure > Azure Active Directory.
Please log in with your work account.
Select and complete user details such as name, job title, and location. - SBXFrequent Visitor
1) Microsoft Graph API is discontinued
2) AAD is not available on PBI, but AD is available. The only issue is that the table structure is very difficult to navigate.

Thanks, not the solution I was looking for. I've used Active Directory instead of Azure Active Directory. It's been a challenge identifying the fields, but I've now got what I needed.
Thanks for your help
