I normally write a calculated column using an if statement. Eg

 

=if(calendar[date]=today(),"Today",calendar[date])

 

this new column will Update on every refresh.  Any filter on "Today" will stick and the date will change. Another approach is to use Power Query to load a calendar that grows as I describe here https://powerpivotpro.com/2015/02/create-a-custom-calendar-in-power-query/

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
