Cannot Search by Number or Date in Slicer
Why is it that you cannot turn on the search function in a slicer if it is a date or number field? Why does this only work with text? This is SO frustrating!

For both dates and numbers, slicers have the option of "Between" slider, which also allows you to type in the boxes.
Hope this helps,

That option is tedious and I believe has a small bug in it. If you do a between search once, then go back to enter a value in the first box and tab to the second, it reverts the first box back to the last search and you have to go back and type in the second search, in the first box, again.
I don't want to have to type out a number twice when I'm searching for a single value. Also, if I want to find all values that contain a string of "123", you can't, it has to match exactly.
