Hi Jayesh,

Thanks for getting in touch.

There is a way to do this but it will require some amount of work, as well as it won't work with the AJAX refresh. You will need to Disable AJAX refresh and allow the submit to refresh the page.

The idea is that you will create your filter as a select tag using HTML and then add the submit button. When you submit the search you can use the views query filter to Hook into the submit and check which option the user selected.

From there you can modify the date query per the user's option. It will take some amount of PHP code to achieve but it is possible to do.

The only other alternative is by using a datepicker filter that will allow the user to select a range of dates and they can see the courses that fall within those selected dates.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
