Solved: Issue with importing data from SharePoint Online L...

Anonymous · ‎07-28-2020

Hello,

I have a SharePoint Online List that has project owner names populated from a company directory. When I import the SharePoint Online List into Power BI, the user's IDs show up, but no name and the column header for the project owner is different. Why is this happening and how can I resolve it?

Column in PowerBI

Column in SharePoint Online List

Thanks,

Tyler
