How can I hide absolute numbers from the tooltip on a Pie Chart in Google Data Studio?

I have a Google Data Studio pie chart showing the % of the Record Count metric, for various slices, but on hover, the tooltip shows the absolute number of Record Count. I don't want to share the absolute numbers with the customer receiving this report. How can I hide that?

There is actually a way to do this; however, it appears to be unintentional, and may be removed in the future:

  1. Change the "Metric" "Data Type" to "Duration".
  2. Change the "Display Format" to "Custom number format".
  3. Enter a single space (" ") - or if you prefer, you can enter a single hashtag.

Your chart will now show either a blank space, or whatever else you chose to use as the Custom Format.

Define your metric used in the pie chart as a percentage by setting the Comparison Calculation field to "percent of total". When hovering the mouse, something in the format 10%(10%) will be displayed on the card. Thus, the absolute value does not appear, even if the percentage is doubled.enter image description here

Unfortunately it seems not possible as of now, here is the same question in the official support forum.

As stated by a user, the only possible workaround is to add a trasparent square over the chart, this would prevent the hover functionality to work.
