Non-interactive/ static Tooltip

Hi all,

Is there any option where you can shut off the interactive function of Tolltips?

 

In like: I hover over a visual and the tooltip doesn't show me information  about the e.g. category my mouse is on at the moment, but rather displays a visual that doesn't change as long as I hover, no matter which category my mouse is on.

 

Therefore, a "static" tooltip that doesn't interact.

 

I have a solution where I calculate another table for the tooltip and don't relate them, but that would probably cause a bunch of other problems so I'm wondering if there is any other option to create a non-interactive-visual?

@Anonymous , You can Switch off the tooltip from visual property.

 

Or create a static tooltip page - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-tooltips

This solution is fine but what if I want certain parts of my tooltips to interact with my slicer selection and certain selections should not affect my tooltip. How to achieve this?

Ah ok I guess I figured what you meant. 

For everyone with the same problem: Going to the tooltip page and turning off "Keep all filters" does the job
