i have two parts in my question.
it relates to the same problem.
i have two charts, both using Line and Stacked Column chart. I use State on x-axis, count(ID) on the y-axis.
1. in Chart A, when hover on one of the columns, the tooltip shows State, count(ID) and Total.
in chart B,the tooltip only show State and Count(ID).
how do i disable the Total from the tooltip. i know it exist because it is stacked column chart but why Chart B dont exhibit the total?
I checked the settings they are all the same and i notice one difference (tho i cant really see why this would cause it, so this one lead to item no. 2)
2. when i check under visual> Data labels > value, the last three options are Display Units, Value decimal Places, Show Blank as "", this is for Chart A.
in chart B: under visual> Data labels > value, the last three options are Display Units, Format Code, show blank as "".
so i was confuse why the same type of chart offers different options even though i input the same parameter.
appreciate your help, thanks
Hi guys, thanks for responding.
However this is not exactly what i'm looking for.
i'm aware of the custom tooltips. It just that it confuses me why same chart offers different result for the default tooltips.
if you have any more idea, let me know.
thankss
Hi @nadia_ab
Unfortunately, there is no other way to control the tooltip.

Hi @nadia_ab
You can create customized tootlip with the only needed data, and use it instead of the default.
Please refer to my solution in the linked post :

Hi Nadia,
That is not possible, as I know. However, what you can do is create a small new page as tooltip and have a custom tooltip, based on your requirements. In the MS Learn page, there is a nice article about this:
