disable selectable value from table

I am distributing a report to many people and I want to disable their ability to select values in a table since it will likely appear to be confusing if they accidently highlight a value and it starts filtering the rest of the report. Is there anyway to do this?

 

Thanks,

Hi. As already mentioned here, there's no way to disable clickability... But I found an override.

Add a rechtangular shape, make it without background color and with 100% transparency for border. Disable the visual header for it as well. Now, cover with it the object you'd like to prevent user from clicking on and publish. That's it!

Thanks for sharing the link @Anonymous .  I was also running into the same problem.  And drawing a rectangle on top of my visual solved my issue.
