Power Bi Desktop Country and Cost by Country fields empty

        Thank you for taking the time to respond. It's much appreciated. The data is very basic (see below) and I've checked and it's set to "whole number" and "text". The visualization that we're trying to use is the Map.

         

        I'm beginnging to wonder whether it's possibly blocked on our corporate broadband.
