Fill between conditional column

Hi,

I have multiple data sets where the ranges differ between the rows I want to filter for. I'd like to add a custom column where it will populate "True" between the instance "Task" and "Notes" in Column1. Is this possible? Example below for what I am aiming as a result. 

Column1Custom
NameFALSE
DateFALSE
AssignmentFALSE
LeaderFALSE
AssistantFALSE
 FALSE
 FALSE
 FALSE
TaskTRUE
ATRUE
BTRUE
CTRUE
DTRUE
ETRUE
FTRUE
Additional ResourcesTRUE
ResultsTRUE
 TRUE
NotesTRUE
 FALSE
 FALSE
FeedbackFALSE

I would add a column named Column2 like 

 

...each if [Column1] = "Task" then "TRUE" else if [Column1] = "Notes" then "FALSE" else null)

 

Then FillDown, then your final column is

 

...each if [Column1] = "Notes" then "TRUE" else [Column2])
