Create hierarchy option not showing (tutorial)

I am trying to teach myself how to use Power BI Desktop and Power BI service by following this online tutorial. However, when I get to the 'Create Heirarchies' section, I cannot see this option in the Properties tab as the tutorial says I should. Any suggestions? Thanks!Capture.JPG

Additionally, you can download the sample PBIX file directly to study it.

@Mistborn You need to right-click a column in the Data pane and then the top option should be Create hierarhy.

thanks Greg, but that's what I was doing and there doesn't seem to be 'Create Hierarchy' in the dropdown list.
