Create a folder structure for tables in Power BI Desktop

Hey.

      I have a lot of tables and I would like to know if the tables could be put together in a folder structure. I know that columns could be, and that's not what I am looking for. I also was able to create groups with tables in it in "edit queries" option, but I want the structure in the report view. 

 

If it is not possible, I at least need to know that. Please help.

@Anonymous  You can logically group the tables in "Power Query Editor" only but not on the report view.

Thanks for the reply! 

Do you have any suggestions relating to a workaround idea for my issue? I am importing tables from different marts and I would like to maintain that structure.
