Ability to turn off tooltip and ability to remove the default tooltip (ie the columns used to create the visual).

As some people have already noted in the comments, we've actually shipped this feature already! It was included as part of our July update to Power BI Desktop. You can read all about it in our blog: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-july-2018-feature-summary/#tooltips And of course, if you have any other feature suggestions, please make sure to vote on them.

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

This would be a really useful feature to have especially for certain visualizations like the Bubble Chart where you could have the Color Saturation and the Size be essentially the same value only one is the absolute value and the other is the positive or negative value.

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

Allowing users to customize the default tool tip - such as adding commas to numbers. The commas automatically appear when I do count(col1) (where col1 is a number) but when I doi count(col1) (Where col1 has unique customer id), the numbers just appear as plain text with no commas separating the hundreds, thousands and millions. Please add this feature. Thanks

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

Agreed. Simple option to turn this off would be great. The visualizations show everything the audience needs!

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

If I hover over an image, it shows the hosting website. I need to take this off, since it is a security problem and it is unnecessary!

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

I don't need a tooltip for simple visuals. Would like to turn this off.

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

Absolutely need to be able to remove the default tooltip data. I have three sets of data I want my client to see and instead it forces me to include two data points I do not want shared. Can this be corrected soon?

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

In funnel, the percent of first and percent of previous result confusing in must cases for the clients. We should be able to remove it.

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

This would be extremely useful - please add this capability.

There are many data points that are automatically added to the tool tips that we do not want people to have when hovering over the visuals.
