ArcGIS Defaulting to Shape Map

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to create a bubble map in ArcGIS. My location field is set to postal code, with the size set to my values. The map is defaulting to a shape map. I've used this visualization before with postal codes for a location and was always able to create a bubble map. I'm not sure what I'm missing....

 

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

Best,

 

Colin
