    Enable the ability to selectively remove default values from displaying in tooltips.

    This same idea request is bundled into several other tooltip related idea requests that together had over 1,000 votes:

    https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/14823435-turn-off-tooltip-and-remove-default-tooltip


    However, this functionality is still not available and those ideas are marked as completed so we can't even vote the ideas up anymore.

    RE: Remove default values from Tooltips

    creating a separate tooltip page for every visual in your report when you just want to remove a standard tooltip value is not very efficiënt

    RE: Remove default values from Tooltips

    As noted earlier, lat/long tooltips on a map REALLY annoying

    This would make a huge difference. I was also disappointed that it wasn't included with the other updates. Hopeful this catches on!

    Removing this would unlock a lot of cool visuals! Currently working on a timeline visual where full control of the tool tip would make a big differnce.

    Very true, surprised that this was not fixed last time they made the tooltips section 'customizable'.

    RE: Remove default values from Tooltips

    Yeah, as soon as you add detail in to the Tooltip that should overwrite the default. I hate having the lat/long coordinates displayed on my maps!

    RE: Remove default values from Tooltips

    YES ! At least, allow us to remove lagitude and longitude on maps, please !
    I use maps ti get eye-candy reports, but they just under development as soon as you mouse over it, showing long series of numbers (they look like some internal exception number at first glance).

    RE: Remove default values from Tooltips

    Latitude and Longitude is a particular nuisance in the map tooltips. Quite irrelevant to the majority of users and we need the ability to remove it.
