Hi  @divyanshug15 ,

 

As far as I know, Power BI doesn't support specifying a column's font to be bold for the time being, you can only set all columns to be bold.

It is recommended that you apply conditional formatting to the background color and font color of the Value with an index of 1 to highlight the line or bold it to achieve a prominent effect.

For more information about the conditional format, you can refer to the following link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-conditional-table-formatting 

If your data is of the following types, you may consider using the Specific column setting, but also can only change the color and not the font to bold:

You can submit an idea for it at Home (microsoft.com) and wait for users with the same needs as you to vote for you to help make it happen as soon as possible.
