Making values disappear when hovering (not tooltips)

Hi, I've built a regular table with data, but to remove the actual values, I've replaced them with conditional formating to display icons/colours instead. I've turned off ToolTips so that readers can't see the data, but still when hovering over each column, the value is displaying:

How do I turn this off? I don't want any values displaying.

 

Many thanks in advance, I'm sure its something obvious!

If tool measure is allowed. Create a measure

Tooltip = "No tooltip"

 

and use that as tooltip measure and check

 

or create a tooltip page with empty contact and use that

Thanks, turning on the ToolTips and putting transparency to 100% as noted on the other thread was the simplest way to fix it. Thanks!
