How to Insert Fixed Date

[inthepit]

Hello,
I am using a Gantt Chart Template for a project. The cell for the start date is currently set to "=TODAY()" and the output is "Tues, 1/15/19". I would like to make the start date fixed to 1/1/19, but I don't know how. When I enter in the cell "1/1/19" the output is "Sat, 1/0/1900." Please help me set a fixed date in the cell. Thanks.

inthepit,
what format is applied to the cell that you want the fixed date in? Make sure you use a format that includes a 4 digit year.

Ctrl + ; will input today's date as a fixed date. Just format as necessary.

Thanks! I figured that out after posting.
