Hi @Kcponakala ,

 

If you want to import data from AD, you could refer to this blog to load user table into Desktop.

Hi,
create a disconnected table which holds the Fullname (Firstname & Lastname) and the USERPRICIPALNAME. Use a measure like this:
User = CALCULATE(VALUES(DisconnectedTable[Name]), DisconnectedTable[Userprincipalname] = USERPRINCIPALNAME())
Use this measure in a card visual.

You could use a lookup table in your data model.
