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.
