I have some data I am trying to get statistics on (e.g. what percentage of documents have a description?). However, the field statistics are not showing, even when I hit refresh...
When I click on one of the fields, it shows me some of the distinct values, but not all...
Is there a way to fix this?

Hi @joshuachough and welcome to the community!
Field Statistics can be provided for aggregatable fields like fields with `keyword` type. In your case looks like mostly `text` fields are selected.
There are 2 options for you to try:
1. deselect all currently selected fields (for example by pressing New link in the top nav)
2. select aggregatable fields too (for example, add `country.keyword` field via "+" from the sidebar field popover)

Hi Joshua. I've created an enhancement request here [[ML] Shows some stats for non-aggregatable fields in Field statistics · Issue #160280 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/160280) for this issue.
