Can I remove the "Values" fields from ToolTips

  I want to add calculated columns to my tooltips but i also want to remove the values that are displayed on the Line Chart. I also turned off the Data labels so the user doesn't see the true value...

You can turn off tooltips since 2018 July:

Turning off the Tooltip feature as mentioned above doesn't truly remove them.  (it just turns off the flexibility to show other values within that tooltip and format them).
ie - If you mouseover the bar graph, you'll still see the value appear for that selection.  

Workaround: However, you can "trick" the tooltip into not appearing!  Within the Tooltip menu, turn it On, then scroll to Transperency --> make that 100%.   Now your tooltips won't display as you mouseover them. 

This was particularly helpful for my scenario, in which I was needing to color code values (using conditional formatting) and also prevent the actual value from being displayed.
