Format: Change style of border of a column in a "line and stacked column" chart

Hi.


I've started working with Power BI recently so I'm still pretty new to this tool.


I want to know if there's any way to change the style of the borders of a column in a "Line and Stacked Column Chart". I know there's an option to change the color of the border of the chart, but I only want to style a column itself.


Also, is there a way to make the border dotted instead of a continuous line?


Thank you so much.

@ximenamedina I don't think you cannot change the style of the border, except the color. A lot of formatting options are still in development and I'm sure this will also come as a feature sometime in the future. If there is an idea for this ideas forum, vote for it or create a new one.

 

Would appreciate Kudos 🙂 if my solution helped.

HI @ximenamedina,

Unfortunately, power bi does not share these parts of properties to do formatting. (for power bi theme, it also not support to setting not released properties)
Currently, you can only change some normal options (e.g. size, color, position...)
I'd like to suggest you design a custom visual or submit ideas for these requirements.

Regards,
