Friends,
Today is my first day trying to create a visualization in Power BI. I am very excited to learn something new. My first attempt is to create a simple territory map. I've seen examples and assumed I could do this one. The 2 attached images are from Excel and from Power BI. Please tell me what I am doing wrong in Power BI.

Thank you.
