    Hi Bipin, your solution helped me the next day itself. For some reasons I could not login to this account, then I had to contact the support. Sorry for the delayed reply.

    Hi,

    You will have to load systemuser table from CRM apart from Custom entity/Accont to get User fullname and any other fields.

    Use lookup function to achieve your requirement in Power BI. Lookup function is same as join in SQL. See below atricle.
