The March 2018 update introduced visual header control at the report level.
Since this is currently an 'all-or-nothing' feature, please evolve this so we can control visual headers on a per visual basis.

We completed this as part of our July release! If you haven't use the new header yet, make sure to turn it on for your existing reports and try out all the new features. You can also read about it in our July blog post: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-july-2018-feature-summary/#visualHeader

RE: Allow visual header control per visual
This is specifically helpful for slicers - no one needs to drill down a slicer!
RE: Allow visual header control per visual
Very appreciated update, but of course it need to be visual independant. For example, I have a large report with a lot of visuals, I don't want to clutter it with all the boxes and white space around visuals, and thus I turn them off with this new feature. But now my users can't use drill-down on a matrix table, and the whole point of drill-down is lost. Please fix this by next release! Or just make the boxes around the visuals invisible with a check box, and just let us have the drill-down buttons at least.
RE: Allow visual header control per visual
Love the idea to hide the header boxes, but still need to be able to export data to Excel! Maybe it could be added to the right-click menu?
RE: Allow visual header control per visual
A practical application for this would be to be able to leave Go To Next Level of Hierarchy and turn off Expand All down one level. Often, seeing the data in hierarchy is not really whats intended in a visual and leaving the option available just confuses the end user.
RE: Allow visual header control per visual
One use case I am wanting this for is for text boxes and shape objects especially. Then I can have a shape rectangle that produces a coloured header
RE: Allow visual header control per visual
I agree. It was quite short-sighted to add this option as an ALL-OR-NOTHING setting at the report level.
RE: Allow visual header control per visual
There's another idea similar to this. So i posted same comment.
Something like a option to show and hide the headers.
The sorting and other header buttons can be moved to the format menu.
Sort options are in wrong place. And the drill-down can be fixed on visual.
Best Regards.
RE: Allow visual header control per visual
Yes, this is always tricky with trying to tuck slicers, headers, etc into the top of a report. Often, this means that the header takes up more room than it should, and always floats a lot of white space at the top
RE: Allow visual header control per visual
this is so frustrating I hope they get onto this one.
RE: Allow visual header control per visual
Remove the object header, witch contain ..., incluide this options into visual area, we sometimes need use all space and with this header you can not align to the top.
Always are space on the top due to this header.
