hi @User232431 

 

you can just simply darken the vertical line color by changing this gridline property.

instead og dotted chnage to solid 

chnage grey to black color so t will be more visible.

Hi @User232431, To separate the year, you can change the type of x-axis data from continuous to categorical.

Once you do it, you can see the dotted lines separating year/month/quarter.
Currently Power BI deosn't provide option to make it bold.
