I have a bucket X-Axis Terms aggregation with numbers as my terms and I would like to use the advanced settings exclude to exclude a specific number. If I simply write the number, it says

> Visualize: Aggregation [2] cannot support regular expression style include/exclude settings as they can only be applied to string fields. Use an array of numeric values for include/exclude clauses used to filter numeric fields

How could that be done?

Hi,

- Which version of Kibana is this?
- Can you include the JSON that you are currently trying with?
