vincentcbv,
I'm a little confused. The built-in filter "In Progress Tasks" shows all tasks that have started but are not finished (i.e. "in progress"). That is what you are asking for. So what additional tasks are you expecting your dynamic filter to show?

The “In Progress Tasks” filter relies on the Actual Start and Actual Finish fields, but I’m using Start and Finish instead. Because of this, the default filter won’t work if Actual Start is blank or Actual Finish has a date.
My custom filter highlights tasks correctly—where Start is in the past and Finish is in the future—but it uses a static “today” date. This means I have to manually update the filter’s value each day for it to work.
