I have the following table in beamer presentation, is it possible to move the table slightly up in the page?

This is my output:

Try this updated code in your system..

It will produce a table centered vertically in the frame.

If this is not the case, check if any packages need to be updated.

Added \listfiles to list in the .log file all the files loaded and compare with my output.

The table environment adds unnecessary spaces.

Also corrected measure to compile you code. measure = vbox is needed for varwidth to measure the width of the cells when they contains vertical material, as in this case.

Note that after =\vspace{-\baselineskip} fails to work properly and you get warnings from varwidth, but after=\vspace{<dimension>} works fine. This is the reason to use \vshift: \the\vshift will result in -13.6pt, the (-) baseline skip.

I changed the columns specs but this is not related with the question.

    @John_maddon I guess it is because there is the word vbox at the left of your table that makes the shifting in your second picture.

    @John_maddon I updated my answer. Compile the new code in your system and compare the .log file with mine, to check if any package needs to be updated.
