I know this you posted this video a long time ago and I'm a little late to the game, but hoping you can shed some light on this for me: I am trying to make a choropleth map on ArcGIS Pro. I have a table that I've uploaded using a query layer. I added the US Counties layer, and changed the symbology to "graduated colors." However, when choosing the "Field," the only options are the fields associated with the US Counties like "Population," "SQMI," "Males," "Females," etc. But I noticed your dropdown menu at this step included fields from your crime_table such as "MURDER" and "ROBBERY." How do I get my fields, the fields I want to use for the symbology, to be included in the dropdown menu?

My apologies for not responding in a timely fashion. The problem is likely the field "type" in ArcGIS a field can be designated a text field even if it contains numbers. You can look at the properties of the fields. The type can't be changed but you can create a new field with the correct type and then "calculate field" and tell the program to copy over the numbers from the old field. Then you will be able to see those fields as options in the symbology menu. Hope this answer is at least useful to someone in the future!
