Hello, I'm syncing data from a common data service, and one of the columns is names (from a people picker on the app end). When I sync the data with PBI, it shows up as the associated global unique identifier instead of the name. Any ideas on how to resolve? Here is a screen shot of what I'm seeing. Thank you!
@Sarahdb425 - You will need to import the entity that stores the users to match the GUID's to the names. Is this users, contacts or ?
