    HI Anonymous ,

     

    Can you please provide a link or some way for me to access the file itself?  I don't think that I can provide much more value without the file itself.

    Thank you, collinq, for pointing out that I had inadvertently selected the "map" visualization, and by selecting the slicer option, I could remove the map.  I actually believe the map visualization is a default that is based on certain words in the column title (e.g., country), because I did not purposely select it.

Here's the report.  The top row is labels I have created for the fields in the second row.  Thanks.

    HI Anonymous ,

     

    What is the field that you are using for that drop down?  Can you show that?  It appears to me that you are not using a specific field that has a specific country name in it.  Could that be?

      Hi collinq,

       

      The field had the default format ("ABC123").  I tried changing it to text, but it didn't make a difference.  I have done tests in which I have a country name in the field, and others when I have other data.  In the screen shot below, you can see that I happen to have numbers there.  Thanks.

        If you select the field in the field list, what does it show in the format part of the ribbon?
