The RelativeDateRangeFilter allows you to filter in dates which are in the previous, current, or next time period relative to the date when the filter was applied. The time periods available are day, week, month, quarter, year. So when using the previous filter type with a day duration, a 'yesterday' filter is created. Or when using a current filter type with a year duration, a 'this year' filter is created. However, these filters compare the data against the date when the filter was created. So a 'this year' filter created in 1999 will filter in all cells containing dates in 1999, even if the workbook is opened in 2012.

Exceptions
Exception Description ig.InvalidOperationException From the setter if column was removed from the table. Remarks
If the header row is visible in the WorksheetTable, the name of the column will be displayed in the cell of the column in the header row.
When the WorksheetTable is created, the column names will be taken from the cells in the header row. If the table does not contain a header row, the column names will be generated.
The column names are unique within the owning WorksheetTable. If, when the table is created, there are two or more columns with the same name, the second and subsequent duplicate column names will have a number appended to make them unique. If any cells in the header row have a non-string value, their value will be changed to a string (the current display text of the cell). If any cells in the header row have no value, they will be given a generated column name.
If the Name property is set to a null or empty string, a column name will be generated. If the value is set to a column name which already exists in the table, the column with the higher index will have a number appended to its name so all column names can stay unique.

If any relative cell or region references are in the specified formula, it will be assumed that the actual formula is being applied to the first data cell in the column. When the formula is applied to other cells in the column, the relative references will be offset by the appropriate amount.
When the column formula is set and the table is resized to give it more rows, the new cells in the column will have the column formula applied to them.
If there was a different column formula applied previously and it was applied to any of the cells in the column, setting it to a different formula will overwrite the formulas on those cells, regardless of the value of overwriteExistingValues.
