Search Function Not Working

Hi!

I am used to being able to search on slicers utilizing the ellipses, but for some reason I am not able to add the search feature now. I also noticed that this same field does not let me search in the filters pop.  Pics of both are included.  It is not a hierarchy either.  Google searches did not seem to help me, so I came here. Thanks in advance!

@jj1231248 ,

Based on my research search option in the three dots is available for Text datatype values not for whole number type values. In your case I think this is whole numbers, so that is the reason why search option is not available.
