There is no Data Categorization called "Location". 

You mean the field in the visual and that can stay.

 

Just change this in the table on your Location field:

EDIT: so this was reported as a BUG and PBI team is already working on solution

Changing the category from "city" to "uncategorized" does not solve the problem for Power BI service.

There is no problem for Power BI desktop, whatever the category is (but I have an april version).

Nice to hear the Power BI team is working on the subject.

    No Idea what to do with the old version probably best wait for the fix.

     

    With recent PBI June Desktop version it shows the same bug in Desktop as in Service and as soon as you change Category the data points show again and when you publish as well.
