Record data from sharepoint List

Hello,

 

I need some help with some columns on BI. I got my data from a sharepoint list (the Sharepoint list have person columns to CREATED BY and MODIFIED BY) but when i tried to use this info in my inform i couldn't see it, and it looks like that in Edit Query:

Appears like Record in every row, but i only need the name of the Author and Editor, how can i extract that info for every row?

 

NOTE: I have full control of sharepoint list.

Hi @Alonso_96,

It sounds like you received data that has combined multiple records and stored as list/records format.
In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you expand these fields to show the internal contents or try to use the record/list function to extract specific fields.

List.Alternate 

Record.Field
