Why does my field display as [list] instead of showing the values?

[AHTBarry]

Hello, I am new to Power BI so forgive me if there is an obvious answer to this question. I have connected to a SharePoint list successfully and everything seems to be working well with one exception. On the list that I have linked to there is a field that contains the value "Sensing Solutions" or "Performance Sensing". When I pull this field into a table it only displays [list] instead of the values. All of the other fields display properly, for example my Customer field displays the customer names. I have verified that the Default Summarization is set to "Do Not Summarize" (though asking it to count doesn't change anything). I am including a screen shot of what it looks like when I drag it in for a visualization.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to resolve the problem. I changed the format of the data in SharePoint to "radio buttons" and now it is displaying correctly. Hopefully this will help others.

Barry, but when I change the format to Radio button, it doesn't allow multiple choices. I do need to have that option. Had you figure out another way? I do realize this is an old post. not sure you are still working with Power BI

You need to expand the column in Power Query because your data is stored in a structured column as a list. Read the section called Expand a List structured column for a walkthrough.

I know this is an old post, but I was having the same issue and this solved all of it for anyone else looking in the future.
