    Hello, 

     

    in what data type is your data you wish to put in the slicer? As far as I see, you can only enable search for a text type column.

    Regard,

    Hi,

    you should be able to find it following the steps I described. Grab a slicer, add some text type data and in the upper right side of the slicer at the "..." there has to be the search option.
