Hi @Mehran_Goodarzi and welcome to the community!

Take a look [at this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-word-cloud-on-text-field/250523).

the TL;DR:

Keyword fields are indexed as a whole value, whereas a `Text` field is indexed as individual terms or tokens.  
You will need to use the `Text` field and make sure it has `"fielddata": true` so it is aggregatable.  
This may require re-mapping or reindexing depending on your situation.
