&lt;p&gt;it is a great tip. for some reason &amp;nbsp;- when i'm using it now in sharepoint V3 - it seems that the calculated column which is based on Today doesn't show the righ value (it seems the calculation use the value of the day in which i created the column or the item as Today, and is not changed dynamically...)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;is it so?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Column 1. – The “Today” column. &amp;nbsp;You have to create a column of whatever type, but make sure that you call it “Today.” &amp;nbsp;I just accept all default values. &amp;nbsp;You will use this column for the next column and then delete it there after. &amp;nbsp;If you ever have to change another column that depends on the existence of this column you will have to add it back in. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Column 2 - The “TodayPlus” column. &amp;nbsp;This column is used to calculate the end of your week. &amp;nbsp;Feel free to change from 7 to how ever many days you would like to show your Calendar Events until. &amp;nbsp;30 or 31 would work too for Monthly Views. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;=DATE(YEAR(Today), MONTH(Today), DAY(Today)+7) &amp;nbsp;format as Date and Time - Date Only.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now go ahead and delete that “Today” column so your “TodayPlus” column will work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Column 3 – This final column is a Yes/No column, call it &amp;quot;IsCurrentWeek.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;Based on your Start Time entered of your Calendar Event. &amp;nbsp;It does a comparison of the previous Column “TodayPlus.” &amp;nbsp;If your event StartTime is less than seven days from the current day, then it will return a “Yes” value.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;=[Start Time] &amp;lt; TodayPlus &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, on your Calendar view on your home page or wherever you placed the Calendar Web Part, Modify the Shared Web Part and you will be prompted with this window.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Select “Edit the current view” and then &amp;nbsp;apply a filter to show items when column “IsCurrentWeek” is equal to “Yes.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Done! &amp;nbsp;Now go to your calendar web part and you should see only events that are happening within the time specified. By default, the Calendar Web Part will not show events that have occurred in the past. &amp;nbsp;This little feature would have been nice to include though huh?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are on WSS 3.0&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: SharePoint TODAY field and calculated fields...</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2006/03/16/552314.aspx#8273257</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Mar 2008 01:10:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8273257</guid><dc:creator>Obieg Dokumentow</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;In other language versions you should also use Today and Me names for columns although Sharepoint UI suggests using local names for these functions!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: SharePoint TODAY field and calculated fields...</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2006/03/16/552314.aspx#8333855</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:03:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8333855</guid><dc:creator>MattP</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;With WSS v3.0, I was using SPD workflow to get around this issue. &amp;nbsp;(note, this may not work for you!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Basically, you design a workflow that is &amp;quot;always looping&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Add a Number column called &amp;quot;heartbeat&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Create a workflow that fires when an item is changed (and put in a way to fire it once).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. All this workflow does is wait 8 hours, and then add +1 to the &amp;quot;heartbeat&amp;quot; column value (which kicks off another copy of the workflow)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The catch? &amp;nbsp;WSS v3.0 SP1 introduced a new bug which causes SPD workflows which fire &amp;quot;on edit&amp;quot; to fail. &amp;nbsp;There is also a new problem with the &amp;quot;Wait until...&amp;quot; SPD activity. &amp;nbsp;So, you will see one of 2 problems:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. The &amp;quot;looping&amp;quot; workflow will &amp;quot;complete&amp;quot; after a certain # of loops. (ie - it never fires off after the heartbeat edit)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. You will be &amp;quot;Waiting&amp;quot; forever&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MS tells me this will be fixed around SP2 timeframe... we will see.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: SharePoint TODAY field and calculated fields...</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2006/03/16/552314.aspx#8394225</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:39:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8394225</guid><dc:creator>JeffR</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Just tried it with WSS v2.0 and it works fine for me. &amp;nbsp;It even refreshes. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: SharePoint TODAY field and calculated fields...</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2006/03/16/552314.aspx#8533343</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 May 2008 22:14:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8533343</guid><dc:creator>MikeD</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Regarding Mike Thomas' illustration above that includes the part:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Column 3 – This final column is a Yes/No column, call it &amp;quot;IsCurrentWeek.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;Based on your Start Time entered of your Calendar Event. &amp;nbsp;It does a comparison of the previous Column “TodayPlus.” &amp;nbsp;If your event StartTime is less than seven days from the current day, then it will return a “Yes” value.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;=[Start Time] &amp;lt; TodayPlus &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where do you enter the formula in a yes/no value column?????? Please help if you know.

&lt;p&gt;Create a new column, name it &amp;quot;IsFromToday&amp;quot;. We want the answer Yes/No to filter out those &amp;quot;End Time&amp;quot; is later than &amp;quot;current date&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create a new column, name it &amp;quot;Today&amp;quot;. Just accept all default values (single line of text).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;STEP 6: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Create a new column, name it &amp;quot;TodayPlus90&amp;quot;. This is to define the &amp;quot;current date + 90&amp;quot; date. &lt;/p&gt;

Steps below are for those who want to show the calendar document in the next 90 days from current date, for example. There are two parts to be done, 1st is to filter out those &amp;quot;End Time&amp;quot; is later than &amp;quot;current date&amp;quot;, 2nd is to filter out those &amp;quot;Start Time&amp;quot; is earlier then &amp;quot;current date + 90&amp;quot; date.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create a new column, name it &amp;quot;TodayPlus0&amp;quot;. This is to define the &amp;quot;current date&amp;quot;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Create Column &amp;gt; Select Calculated (calculation based on other columns) &amp;gt; Data Type - Date &amp;amp; Time, Date Only.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Formula: DATE(YEAR(Today),MONTH(Today),DAY(Today))&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;STEP 3:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edit &amp;quot;Today&amp;quot; Column created in STEP 1, and simply delete it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;STEP 4:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Create a new column, name it &amp;quot;IsFromToday&amp;quot;. We want the answer Yes/No to filter out those &amp;quot;End Time&amp;quot; is later than &amp;quot;current date&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Formula: [End Time]&amp;gt;TodayPlus0&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;----- PART 2 -----&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;STEP 5:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Create a new column, name it &amp;quot;Today&amp;quot;. Just accept all default values (single line of text).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create a column called view. &amp;nbsp;Calculated field, date only. &amp;nbsp;The formula should be:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Created+90 &amp;nbsp;or &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Modified+90 &amp;nbsp; or&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;create your own date field called Date; Date+90&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then set the filter to: view &amp;gt;= [Today]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That seems to do the trick for me.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: SharePoint TODAY field and calculated fields...</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2006/03/16/552314.aspx#8763013</link><pubDate>Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:17:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8763013</guid><dc:creator>Mike Lin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Though the workaround does work the first time, a month later I found the calendar does not update the date of &amp;quot;Today&amp;quot; by itself. It always treat the date on which you create/update the columns (TodayPlus90, TodayPlus0.. etc) as &amp;quot;Today&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If SharePoint has a system-reserved variable that represents system's real current date, probably the workaround can be a solution. Otherwise, it seems not a good one. :-(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any idea from anyone?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: SharePoint TODAY field and calculated fields...</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2006/03/16/552314.aspx#8871650</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Aug 2008 18:41:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8871650</guid><dc:creator>Christophe</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;On my blog I show an easier way to achieve the same result as this “Today” trick:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have tried both examples that Mike Lin and Mike Thomas have posted and neither one seems to work for me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an example of what my output looks like when using Mike Thomas' example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9/1/2008 12:00 AM &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Labor Day &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IsCurrentMonth: Yes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TodayPlus: 9/27/2008 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9/18/2008 12:00 AM &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Birthday One&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IsCurrentMonth: Yes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TodayPlus: 9/27/2008 &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2/1/2010 12:00 AM &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Birthday Two&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IsCurrentMonth: Yes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2/3/2010 12:00 AM &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Birthday Three&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IsCurrentMonth: Yes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TodayPlus: 9/27/2008 &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I opted to show the IsCurrentMonth and TodayPlus fields in the sumamry view so that I could verify what value was being returned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does it matter that my events do not have a 'Start Time' because they are All Day Events?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can anyone help me out with this? &amp;nbsp;It's literally driving me insane! &amp;nbsp;;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am using [Today] as a calculated field in one of the column. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My requirement is I have to list the items Which are due in this month and which are due in next month automatically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; i have used the confition&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Month[Today] to list the items for the current month &amp;amp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MONTH(Today)+1=MONTH([DepartureDate]--&amp;gt; is to list the next month items.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But every month i have to create [Today] column and delete it so to work this properly. Is there any work around for this? Please let me know asap&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Follow Steps in main blog to create the Today column.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Create two more columns:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) Update Modified Date? column:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Choice: Yes || No :Set default to the desired value (default to update automatically or not)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) Calculated column:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Calculated field:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;=IF([Update Modified Date?],Modified,Today)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Data to return: Date and Time&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The all the authors need to do is check the box: to select whether to update the field to &amp;quot;today&amp;quot; or leave it as the last set value.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: SharePoint TODAY field and calculated fields...</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2006/03/16/552314.aspx#9228117</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:18:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9228117</guid><dc:creator>Jen</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The work around works fine at first until the next day. &amp;nbsp;Is there a way to get the deata to &amp;quot;refresh&amp;quot; automatically so that the function continues to work?

&lt;p&gt;=IF(AND(Approval_Status=&amp;quot;Approved&amp;quot;,[Target Release Date]&amp;gt;0),[Target Release Date],IF(AND(Approval_Status=&amp;quot;Pending&amp;quot;,[HRSM Desired Release Date]&amp;gt;0),[HRSM Desired Release Date],&amp;quot;&amp;quot;))&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*Note: Target Release Date and HRSM Desired Release Date are both &amp;quot;Date&amp;quot; columns in my list. &amp;nbsp;I use the &amp;quot;&amp;quot; if Approval Status isn't equal to &amp;quot;Approved&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Pending,&amp;quot; so the Targeted (this formula's column) Release Date equals nothing instead of the goofy 1899 date SharePoint defaults to.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Aging Calculated Fields in SharePoint</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2006/03/16/552314.aspx#9489015</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2009 07:55:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9489015</guid><dc:creator>Community Blogs</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;A common question I get and SharePoint challenge is to show the age of something in SharePoint.
