How to set the date filter in an excel pivot table to “Before =TODAY()”
I have a pivot table that needs to be filtered to show all the records before the current date. Here is the way that I do it right now. Date Filters>Before> (Today’s date). It will not accept “=TODAY()” as the value, so I have to manually set this every day. Is there another way to accomplish this?

I could not get it to work. I attached the workbook so you can see what I’m working with along with the key data for the macro.
Open-Tickets-Report-v2.2.xlsx

Add a column to the source data with the following formula, assuming date is in column A:
=A1<TODAY()
This will return TRUE or FALSE.
If you then add the column into the Pivot Table you can filter on TRUE.

Using "=A1<TODAY()" won't work, because the field also contain blanks.
