Hi @Aliwells632,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.
To make your Gantt chart open with today's date and show a vertical line for today.
Use a relative date slicer set to "Today" or a measure that filters to TODAY() as calculated column like below measure.
IsToday = IF('Date'[Date] = TODAY(), 1, 0)
to Show today’s line on chart add a dummy task with Start and End as TODAY() to act like a vertical line.
