How do I use Sharepoint People field in PowerBI?

Hello,

I have a Sharepoint list that has a People field (they're only choosing 1 name). When I import this into PowerBI it shows up as a number instead of a name. How do I get it to display the name?

You need to also import the "User Information List" table and join it on that ID.
