Hi Everyone, I need help with an issue I am having importing a Sharepoint LIst. I have a column Type that is a Person or Group I have titled Employee. The List settings are for it to be People Only and All Users. It is working fine in the List and in PowerApps. When I Get Data it comes in as the employee ID number and not the employee name. Does someone have an idea what is going on? Much appreciated!

When I Get Data it comes in as the employee ID number and not the employee name.
Which column is it?
Does it refer to the following column?

Could you show example data or more other details?
Best Regards
