Calendar View Webpart (Today view)

By default you can't add a webpart to display only today's calendar entries. I had to create a new view and modify the webpart on the home page to display only the newly created view.

Go to your calendar settings and create a new column called Begin Date. Add the formula =[Start Time] and select Date and Time for data type returned from this formula and click ok.

Create a new view called Today. Under Filter settings select Show items when the following is true: Column Begin Date, select is equal to, and type [Today].

Click ok.

Add or modify the existing calendar webpart on your home page. Select Today as the selected view.
