I don't mind the "Chart Area" tooltip showing when I hover my mouse over an actual chart, but the tooltip is displaying on sheets where there are no charts. It seems like Excel is showing tooltips for hidden sheets even when I am on a sheet with no charts.
How can I disable this in Excel or VBA? I have tried the following:
Excel: File -> Options -> Advanced -> Untick "Show chart element names on hover"
VBA: Application.ShowToolTips = False
I also don't see any property of the chart that I could change that would suppress tooltips.
In Excel 365 (version 2005) I have found a solution (for charts and most other annoying recurring tooltips I came across at least):
Go to Options -> Advanced -> Chart, untick 'Show chart element names on hover'
I couldn't find this anywhere else online, so I thought I'd share, even though this post is somewhat old now.
Might be different or not available for older Excel versions, I'm not sure...
You can turn of chart screen tips in the following way (with Excel 2019)
File -> Options -> Advanced -> Chart
then uncheck "Show chart element names on hover" and "Show data point values on hover"
I re-installed Office and the problem disappeared.
I tried reproducing the problem in other workbooks, but I only ever got the problem in a particular workbook, and the problem persisted in that workbook even if I saved it with a new name. I re-installed Office a few days ago and have not experienced the problem since.

I've sought for a solution everywhere:
I've made a user program (in EXCEL) where the user shouldn't be able to change anything concerning the formatting (colour, width, fonts, comments ... etc. etc.): the user is only capable to see the tables in the (visible) sheets on the screen and the tabs "chooser".
The user can actively only edit in the cells. I use extensively sheet protection, shortcuts, scrollarea and my userdefined contextmenu to achieve what I want. With my +400kB VBAcode.
It works perfect in Excel 2007 (and I think for Excel 2010)!
For the ribbon to not appear I use:
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro "SHOW.TOOLBAR(""Ribbon"", False)"
But not in Excel 2013! I use massively the [ALT]-key for my shortcuts, but when pressing it, the ribbons formatting options appear.
I've seen examples using:
CommandBars.ExecuteMso "HideRibbon"
But it is not a solution as it is always possible for the user get to the Autohide ribbon/Show Tabs/Show Tabs and Commands in the right upper corner.
Is there a way to get "rid" of the ribbon in Excel 2013 and by no means (except VBA) to get it back. Specially the [ALT]-stroke form the user shouldn't be able to call it.
EDIT
I've added an image showing a section of what it looks like having NO Quick Access Bar or Ribbon in my EXCEL 2007. There is only the MS titleline, a plein table and some tabs (sheets) to chose.
I have a Excel file (.xlsm type) contains lot of Charts. After switch to Excel 2016, certain charts not showing Label correctly (axis-x).
Eg. It suppose showing WK10'17, WK11'17, WK12'17,...
but it showing 1,2,3,4,....
1) I tried to reselect the data, then the label showing correctly, but after save and reopen, it become 1,2,3,4.... again
2) also tried delete the existing chart, and create a new one in Excel 2010 & 2016, problem not solve.
3) Axis Type have been set as Text
Is this a bug in Excel 2016 ? Did anyone have a solution for this ?
Below Chart showing 1,2,3,4,..., which is wrong.
Below chart is showing correctly.
Below are my table look like
1st Experiment:
Firstly, I create a whole new file in Excel 2016. Then do below step:
- Create 4 Indicators for performance review, with dummy data
- Create new chart and format it
- Create simple VBA code to hide everything, and only show related Indicator that selected
Everything work just fine, even switching around the indicator many times.
Later, Close it and reopen, 3 out of 4 charts having Axis-x label became 1,2,3,...
2nd Experiment:
I created Whole new file in Excel 2010, with 4 indicators and same VBA code.
Then Close and reopen, Axis-x format remain Perfectly good.
Transfer the file into Excel 2016 machine. Close and reopen, the Axis-x became 1,2,3....
*** Current Excel Version 1705 (Build 8201.2075)
*** Attach with these experiment files

Appreciate, who got interested into this issue, have a look on my file.
Share with me, if you do have any solution for that. Thanks
I found out as long as the Chart is not hide, then the axis-x will remain correctly. But this do not really help, when hiding additional chart is a must.
Another temporary workaround method is :
1) moving the data table to another worksheet.
2) Then the set the Chart's data range to another worksheet (Cannot be the same worksheet with Chart).
That will work perfectly, now can hide the chart while maintain axis-x correctly.
**** Only drawback, table have to move or duplicate into another worksheet
**** Probably Microsoft will solve this after Version 1705 (Build 8201.2075)
I have a complex workbook that has a number of ActiveX Combo boxes which I choose over form controls for their customization options. Inexplicably, ALL of the boxes stopped working this morning. Literally, one minute they worked and then stopped completely. I was not working on that sheet, but rather a different one. There is no code attached to the combo boxes. When in design mode, the properties box doesn't even come up. Developer>Properties opens the worksheet properties only. This problem is not associated with the workbook because older versions of the same sheet are acting the same way. However, the compiled version of the workbook works fine. This suggests corruption in Excel somehow, so I repaired Excel (Office 365). No difference.
I deleted the combo box and replaced it and it is ok now, but that's not good enough for me. I have many others to remove and replace, but why do I need to do this? There are 180 other boxes that this happened to in the past and I simply used Data Validation for because I could not have this happen. I distribute this workbook in a compiled version only, so if I was certain that this bizarre occurrence could not happened once its compiled, I will replace all of the boxes that don't work and replace all of the data validation boxes with activeX, and compile it immediately. But I like things to make sense. What the heck is going on?
An ActiveX combo box has it's code on the sheet module for the sheet it is in. So, it's not odd that looking for the properties of the combo box that the sheet module would pop up. When in design mode and you right click on the combo box a pop up menu should come up that allows you to click and see the box's code on the sheet module. Are you saying that all the code for the boxes vanished or you had never written it? How do they get populated? I apologize for commenting in the answer section but I don't have enough points yet to write in the comment section.
The fact that no one has answered this suggests that this is behavior that I am causing. My belief at this point is that there is code running in the background which suspends other activity. I have a pop up calendar that ends with a range selection. I believe that this is looping somehow.
I am going to replace the data validation boxes with more combo boxes throughout the sheet with the calendar code in mind.
working in excel 2010 sheet & i have a few combo box's around 20 & i right click on of them then suddenly all of them are disappeared but there VBA code and properties still exist so please can some one help me.
the visible is set to fulse
i found the problem in the properties of the combobox, height and lift of properties size i just adjust them and they appear again.
I have a number of pivottables in excel 2013 that I select the pivottable options and under the Totals & Filter tab I set to the "evaluate calculated members from olap server in filters" to be ticked on. I find that if I save and close the workbook then reopen it the evaluate calculated members from olap server in filters option has been deactivated. Has anyone had this issue before?
I found that creating a new spreadsheet seemed to do the trick. There must of been something broken in the old file.
I had this issue too, but found that changing the PivotTable setting on the Display tab to not Show Row Values solved the issue for me. It also stopped Slicers from disappearing between closing and opening the workbook.
