This is because of the type of graph that you've selected - the x axis will need to be aggregated somehow. I'm not sure what your end goal is, but you could swap the values in the x and y axis, or select a different type of visual such as a matrix?
@AgwaJeff When you are visualizing the data, it uses aggregation, like SUM/AVERAGE/COUNT, if it is a text field, it will use count and can be changed to other aggregations but you cannot have non-summarized data on the value axis.
