This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to use a custom shortcode to supply the value for my View's custom field filter but it doesn't seem to be filtering as expected.
Solution: Both the custom shortcode and the shortcode attribute must be added to the View shortcode in order for the Query Filter to respond to the dynamic value.

I am trying to:
I've created a view that displays a cpt called 'dances', there are two filters applied, one for the 'entertainer' who performed the dance (that filter works fine), the other is a date time filter that uses a custom shortcode ([dailydances]) to capture the epoch time of the previous day at 1pm, and compare it to the date captured in a date-time field for the 'dance' cpt. Any dances that took place after the previous day at 1pm should populate the view, but the comparison does not appear to be working correctly as I always get all entries returned.
add_shortcode( 'dailydances', 'yls_daily_dances' );
function yls_daily_dances() {
$today = strtotime('13:00:00');
$yesterday = strtotime('-1 day', $today);
return $yesterday;
}
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
It's in my local dev environment, but the screenshots should provide what you need. Note in the filter-example I've applied the filter, and as you'll see I printed the shortcode for easy comparison. The last two entries should not be visible as they took place before 'yesterday at 1pm'.
