    The new drop-down slicer is awesome, but it would be even better if it had the ability to type the text that you are looking for.

    Reason. My data might be connected to a SQL DB and the drop-down may have 500+ options. Instead of scrolling through the options, why not just type what you are looking for and it pops up.

    Looking forward to the next update

    You can select 3 dots right top corner at the slicer, select search. Now you have the option to search the values.

    Excellent idea. I also have a dropdown slicer with a lot of options and would help a lot to have the option to type the text that I'm looking for
