Add Conditional column based on three dates

Hi All ,

I need some inputs regarding adding a new field "Status" . I have start date and End Date . 

The logic Is , if current date is between startdate and End date then the status is "Active" else "Inactive"

Im using this 

= Table.AddColumn(tablename, "Status", each if [Start_Date] <= Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) then "Active" else if [End_Date] >= Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) then "Active" else "Inactive")

TIA!

Sorry, I have updated the script to use your table name.

 

Table.AddColumn(tablename, "Status", each let today = Date.From ( DateTime.FixedLocalNow() ) in if  [Start_Date] <= today and [End_Date] >= today then "Active" else "Inactive", type text)

Hello!  Here you go:

 

Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Status", each let today = Date.From ( DateTime.FixedLocalNow() ) in if  [StartDate] <= today and [EndDate] >= today then "Active" else "Inactive", type text)
