Importing Issues from Sharepoint LIst to Power BI

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!

Hi @jterrans2 

I can't reproduce your problem, it is much appreciated of you to clear me.

 

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?

I have a column Type that is a Person or Group I have titled Employee.

 

Could you show example data or more other details?

 

Best Regards
Maggie

Thank you very much for having a look at this for me!

 

Here is the Sharepoint List and the Columns I am referring to:

Here is how I have the Column Type and Settings set up:

And here is how those Columns get imported into BI. With ID numbers and not Names:
