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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
You need to also import the "User Information List" table and join it on that ID.

Useless answer, you can get a people colum and expand it on Power BI -_-
