Dropdown headers in table visual

Is there a way to do drop down options from the header row in a table visual?  I wanted it to be similar to what excel does from filtering in a table?  We have a table with 7 slicers needed and it's very ugly way to do it with individual slicers and takes up way too much real estate.  Below I created the slicers overlaid on a header row but it's just clunky.

hi  @Anonymous 

To my knowledge, it couldn't achieve in table visual for now.

you could use this workaround, and may try to custom the Dropdown slicer in formatting to make it better.

@Anonymous  Tables currently do not have this feature, but what you can do to save on real estate is to add the drop down slicers as a hideable filter pane and only show them by clicking a button with the use of bookmarks. View this video below

I have done a POC on the hidden filter, many didn't like it.  Thanks though.
