Filters like Excel Auto Filter

I've been searching and looks like there's nothing like that around. About implementing it on my own: is it possible to change the filters above the tables from Text to a custom something? or this kind of filter would be impossible right now? I'm talking about the checkboxes + search of it Thanks!

#filter-sets maybe. Filament isn’t a replacement for excel.

If you’re referring to be able to populate the filter with all the values of a specific column you can do: 
SelectFilter::make('column')->multiple()->options(fn () => Model::query()->distinct()->pluck('column', 'column'))
SelectFilter::make('column')->multiple()->options(fn () => Model::query()->distinct()->pluck('column', 'column'))

yeah it makes sense, but with the filters panel in each column (instead of just a textbox) it could almost replace it :P I asked it because my main problem is: I have more than 30 filters and the filter box is so small that's impossible to make it fit in there even if I make the box bigger, it gonna be impossible to see the actual table filter changing live the #filter-sets was a good tip because having more than 30 filters and doing all the filters again and again is a pain, so thanks for the recommendation I'll still try to figure out some way to have so many filters tho

You can try placing your filters above the table: https://filamentphp.com/docs/2.x/tables/filters#displaying-filters-above-or-below-the-table-content
