Power BI creating multiple columns of nearly identical data (SharePoint table source issue)

$

I would really appreciate if someone in the community could point me in the right direction. I am trying to transform some data. The source is an online SharePoint list. On import in Power BI I select the “2.0 implementation”. One of the columns that I transform gets brought in as a table. When I expand it - I choose ‘Title’ only and it displays a persons name within the company (lets say Joe Smith”. If the record in Sharepoint has a 2nd name assigned (lets say Jane Smith) - Power BI adds an additional, nearly identical row with the exception of displaying Jane Smith’s name. Concatenating this data into a text string feels like it will not work as it cannot be used within the data model. Any suggestions on how to avoid Power BI creating all these extra rows?
