Thank you so much for answering. Actually, for the firstpicture I showed - column 'Name', you can see it all showe "See DetailView", Actually what real stored for each line is like the second picture. Is there a way I can search the real text that stored in the database? Thanks!
Also you can use the ask a question button to search directly the data:

if you select the filter option and the values you can search there by selecting the 3 dots on the top. However, to display the data that you have maybe you need to change the format to text.
Hi @xiumi_hou ,
So there are multi values in each rows ? Could you please share about what kind of data source you are using and the data connective mode? How about the result if you put this field into a slicer? Please don't have any Confidential Information or Real data in your reply.
Best regards,
