using date function in report page filter comparison

Is there anyway for this kind of report page filter to use one of the date functions noted, UTCTODAY or UTCNOW, instead of a statically selected date?

@rob_mysbxsec , Typically we create a flag like this and use that in slicer , So now you can use today as filter

 

new column in date table

 

Is Today = if('Date'[Date]=TODAY(),"Today",[Date]&"")

 

Is Today = if('Date'[Date]=TODAY(),"Today",format([Date],"YYYYMMDD"))

 

or

Is less than Today = if('Date'[Date]<=TODAY(),1,0)

Like this game plan.  Any reason you propose use of a Slicer vs a report page or visual filter setting to filter by these computed Column date values that contain Today, Yesterday, This Month special values?
