The ability to add any data point to the tooltip for visuals is nice, but the inability to suppress the *default* tool tip means that we still can't custom tailor that tool tip to show exactly what is required.

Choosing all items means that some items will be sometimes duplicated. Choosing multiple TT items in a line/bar combo chart doesn't show the tool tip selections when hovering over the line - huh?

This area needs some work!

RE: Suppress the Default Tool Tip

Yes, we do need much more Format control over the presentation of Tool Tip values, - especially the default values. Many times we need to suppress the default values; we want to show data in a certain way but suppress the consumer's ability to see the numbers behind. Also, the current Format presentation of Tool Tips can result in confusing/inelegant Tool Tip values. Consider "%GT Volume: 5.89% (5.89%)"
Many thanks for your consideration in improving this magnificent product.

Agree - multi value bar graph causes duplication of values in the tooltips

This is sooooo annoying to the users. Please TURN IT OFF BY DEFAULT.
