Microsoft SharePoint List with Power BI linking does not import column headers

Hi, 

When I link the Microsoft Sharepoint list (online list), the column headers are not imported. Can someone help me with that? 

 

columns are name Field 1, Field 2... I want to import the actual column headers. I have too many columns.
