I was checking US Core extensions
I found Slicing is not happening in Differential Table

but in SnapShot table there is slicing

Can some one please explain why this happening?

i think it is a "meta-slice". the extension is saying that the value[x] is restricted to code and specifies a binding. in the StructureDefinition, that gets represented as a slice on value[x]. That would be confusing, so the differential shows it like you would expect - extension.valueCode. but the snapshot is showing everything and shows how it is represented in the StructureDefinition. I could be wrong, but that's what I think. :)
