Facebook isn’t showing the names of exact number of people who liked a specific post

facebookfacebook-groupsfacebook-like

I am talking about a post in a closed Facebook group. The post had about 1900 likes. When click on “1900 others” it showed a list of names. So for some reason the number of names were counted after transferring it to an Excel file. And it just gave 497 names. What does this mean? Does it mean that Facebook will only generate random names from the perspective of the user who clicked in it (for example in my case 497)? Or is it an error with Facebook? (Actually there were only 497 likes.)

Coupled with a user's (those who liked the post) privacy settings, yes.
