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!

One options is to add a text version of your column for a slicer. Or change the column data type. Typically, descriptive attributes are text types.

Anonymous until Microsoft can "fix" this, your suggestion of duplicating the column and changing the data type of my case number works. Thank you so much for this suggestion!
