Definitive Logic Advanced Gantt Chart - "Today" Dashed Line in Wrong

    I found my own solution. There is no way to manually create or modify the dashed line, however it was in the correct place-- I just had a different definition of quarters.

     

    Turning off "Federal Fiscal Year" changes the timeline to what I was expecting. Seems like you can't have it the same format as the default setting with Q1, Q2, etc., but I'm fine with that.

     

    Hopefully this helps someone else!

  1. Check your data model:

    • Ensure your date column has correct data types (Date/Time)

    • Verify your Power BI desktop's local timezone matches your reporting requirements

  2. In the visual's formatting pane:

     
    Format visual → Time Settings → Today Line → Adjust date offset (if available)

  3. If no setting exists, add this measure as a workaround:

     
    Today Corrected = TODAY() + 0  // Adjust the "+0" to match your needed offset

  4. Last resort: Contact Definitive Logic support with:

    • Your Power BI version

    • Visual version number

    • Screenshot of the issue

Note: Some Gantt visuals use the browser's local date - check if your Power BI service timezone settings match your location.
