SharePoint Online List to Excel Data Connection, People and Group problem

$

So I'm trying to create a dashboard for my boss.  He wants a dashboard that shows who attended meetings that are run by others.  The others will submit a form on a SharePoint Online site.  My intent was to create the dashboard in Excel.  The SharePoint List has a field for multi-select "People and Group", and works fine.

However, when I make the connection (Excel 2016, newest update), the table loads fine, but where the participants should be, it's broken into two columns: ParticipantId and ParticipantStringId.  In the cell for those, it simply says [List].  If I go to the advanced query editor, those become hyperlinks, but both just show some random, meaningless short numbers (ie, 37, 125, etc.).  They both show the same thing.

Point is, how can I get Excel to show me the people's names in that cell?  Keep in mind that the cells which show who participated will have multiple people, but never groups.  

Thanks!
