Issue Connecting SharePoint List Column to Power BI.

Hello Everyone,

I have connected my SharePoint List with Power BI, but the ID column values are reflecting as [List]. I tried using the Expand and Extract options but only get some numbers instead of the ID.

Note: The expanding option still shows some numbers instead of names and IDs. When exporting data in CSV, names are displayed, but in SharePoint, it's showing "List."

Please help if there is a solution.

 

Thanks,
Aman Shaikh.

Instead of expanding these lookup columns completely, consider adding the "User Information List" list  to your data sources and then join it into your data model.

After Loading is Power Bi:
