Map or Filled Map Visualizations

Hello, 

Power BI Desktop can recognize a column with geographic data, but a City column with a formula [City] & ", " & [State], it cannot recognize. You can see in the sample: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/getdata/samples/retail-analysis-sample

I do not know why it does not display information when I choose City column for Location in the page Overview or New Stores. 

May you please explain? 

 

Thanks,
