Values wells missing in Power bi charts


Hello, 
I am new to Power BI (Desktop). I just started taking online self-paced training. But I am having difficulty getting the same result as the tutor. The visuals pane of my Power BI Desktop has the following field wells: 'X-axis', 'Y-axis', 'Legend', 'Small multiples', 'Tooltips' and 'Drill through'. Meanwhile the tutor's own has the following: 'Axis', 'Legend', 'Values', 'Tooltips' and 'Drill through'.
The tutor used his 'Axis' and 'Values' which I don't have except X-axis, Y-axis.
Please, is there a way to toggle these on/off. that is the 'Values' and just 'Axis'?

 

I downloaded this Power BI version about 2 weeks ago.

Please see attached for clarity.  Mine is the first while the second is the tutor's.My ScreenMy Screen

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

They changed it from axis and values to x axis and y axis. I'm not a fan of the change, but that's what happened. If you are doing a bar chart, then axis == y axis and values == x axis. The opposite for a column chart.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
