Tabulator.js - Filtering in formatter field

I have formatter field

field: 'work_type',
        headerSort: false,
        formatter: "lookup",
        formatterParams: {
          "0": "Handle",
          "1": "Auto",
        },

And i have complex filtering

table.setFilter([         
      [
          {field:"counts", type:"like", value:filterVal},
          {
            field: "work_type", //formatter field
            type: "like",
            value: filterVal,
          },
      ]
    ]);

Ofc it works with numbers on "work_type", so question is how to make it work with changed values?
