Create Calendar View filtering on Start Time/End Time

There is a really annoying problem within the UI with Calendars whereby when you create a new view on a Calendar list it does not expose the Start Date or End Date to filter on so you cannot create a view for upcoming Events, or events between dates !

Here is a quick workaround to solve this issue.

Go into the calendar list settings and create a new column, give it a name, then make it a calculated column type and then select the [created] in the Formula box. Select DateTime from the data type and un-tick add to default view.

Now create a new view, and in the filter section, the new field will appear in the drop down and you can now filter on start date.
