Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
I don’t have a directly usable solution, but this TablePress Extension should be a good starting point:
http://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-row-filter-date.zip
After installing and activating that, you can use a Shortcode like
[table id=123 filter_date="past" filter_date_columns="3" /]
which will result in only those rows being displayed where the date in column 3 is in the past.

Great I will give it a try, I need to filter on the Time as well, can I just add filter_time=”past” filter_time_column=”4″?
Do I need to configure the tables columns to be a specific date \ time format?
Hi,
no, sorry, the Extension does not directly work for time, only for dates. You will need to extend the code of the Extension to also cover the time with some new PHP code.
The allowed date formats are those English date formats that PHP understands, see http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.date.php
I would suggest to go with the standard “mm/dd/yyyy”, if possible, as that’s probably the most reliable.

Thanks again for the response. I need the time to work in the filter as well, I tried it with the “2014-08-13T09:55:00+00:00” as the field and that didnt work as you suggested so I guess I go back to the drawing board. Thanks
Hi,
that format should work, likely only regarding the date part, while it will ignore the time (unless you extend the Extension).
Then, you might also need to turn off table output caching, by extending your table’s Shortcode to
[table id=123 cache_table_output=false /]
