Thank you

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!
