How to add shading/vertical lines to a clustered bar chart to easily read/separate data by month

Below is a clustered bar chart that shows data over the past 4 months.  The problem with the visual is it is difficult to see where a month's data starts/ends.  Is there a way to have background shading to distinguish each month's data or a vertical line to show when a new month's data starts/end?  Is there a known visual I should import that will do this?  Any other suggestions? Thank you for your assistance.

Sure, just turn on the Category Shading option in the Plot area...

Kidding, stacked visuals and no backgrounds. See attached PBIX.
