Thank you

Hi, @CCUK22
Depending on your description, you want to display name instead of email in Usage Metrics.
There are two ways to customize the Usage Metric, the first is Save a copy; The second is that Desktop uses live connection to connect to the dataset.
The first method:
For the first way, we can see that there is no name field in the User table:
So we can use Desktop to connect to the dataset, and then create a measure to remove the email suffix:
Measure = LEFT(MAX('Users'[UniqueUser]), FIND("@",MAX('Users'[UniqueUser]))-1)
The result is as follows:
Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
