Setup Custom Metadata Type for VAT Tax

Helle everyone,

I am not able to pass this trailhead challange. - Setup Custom Metadata Type for VAT Tax​
  • Call your custom metadata type VAT Data.
  • VAT Data has a text field called Country Name with length 10.
  • VAT Data has a percent field called VAT Rate with default values.
  • For the VAT Data record label, use the country name.
  • Japan has a 10% VAT.
  • Germany has a 19% VAT
Here the challange itself is not clear. 
I created a metadata type with name VAT Data.
and created two custom fields Country Name and VAT Rate.
I entered records for  VAT Data with value Japan as country name and 10 as vat rate but after this how to again add germany country name and 19 as vat rate. My question is how to add both records in same metadata type?

I ran into this same error and it turned out that I had spelled "VAT Rate" as "Vat Rate" - I capitalized VAT and Trailhead accepted it.
