How to get a true/false column based on two other date columns

Hello,

 

I am attempting to add a column (titled 'active') that will be true/false data type based on if today's date is between the start and end date columns. For reference here are some data points below so I have been attempting DAX expressions to measure whether today's date is inbetween the two dates (result would equal true), or if today's date in NOT in between the two dates (result would equal false).

May I ask, what if the second column is in a different table. How would you write the comparison then?

you need to merge them or move the second column one to the first table

Thank you so much, that was it!
